Vance,

I once used an autobody slide hammer for this job.  Just punch a small hole
in the center of the plug (steel nail works) and screw in the threaded
hammer tip.  You could drill the hole but cuttings might get in the block,
something you would rather avoid.

As stubborn as a galley plug may be a little extra leverage couldn't hurt.
Try slipping a length of small diameter steel pipe over the end of your
allen wrench.  Or better yet, an allen head socket on a breaker bar or a
torque wrench after an overnight soaking of penetrant..
