Oh I may have the material composition wrong, but the fix is the same.
And the last time I dealt with this the plug did get buggered up from the teeth on the jaws of the vice grips.
But if you think this more than a miniscule detail, post up .
Yes, I have found that to be so, what worked best for myself . Was to use sharp raps, not so much like you use a hammer to put a dent in something, but just to give something a little nudge. Light taps up to but not exceding the point where the aluminum material on the drain plug just scrapes...

Glass is very hard...
Another example for those that have tig welded, tungsten is very very hard, and how much effort does it take to break off a contaminated end ? Kahsnap!
