Need some help guys ...

The Oil Sump Plug has been rounded off.

We have tried filing it down to get a better grip but the plug won't Budge.

Is there a tool to get a better grip on the Plug ?

Cheers for the advice.

The three options I would look at are:

Pipe plyers the type that put more presser on the harder you pull.

The sockets that work on the flats of the bolt.

Cut a slot in the middle and try put a long flat plate in the slot and turn.

I can't remember what type the r53 is, is it a male sump plug (sticky out bit) or a female as if it's male you could use some stilsons on it and monkey it off, but if it's a female you could try using ezy-outs
