Try getting a Monkey Wrench, tightening it on the sump and then turn. Had the same exact problem, bought a special drill bit to do it but would not budge. The monkey wrench is much easier as it can get a firmer grip on the sump in order to turn it.
Hope this helps

What are you trying to use mate?
Spanner or rachet?
I bought a few sumpplug remover bits!
Work for the ones with a hole on them !
