I figure if you're going to do the job the Fill plug IS coming out one way or another and it being empty is good incentive to NOT leave the old oil in there!
(There was a reason to be changing it in the first place ;) )
Probably find the IC is half full of oil from the old motor.
Pull it off block one pipe and pour some gas in cover the other pipe and give it a shake then drain repeat a few times till the gas comes out clean.
It can't help idle... bigger danger is you give it a boot into boost and it...

<check fill plug can be undone> edit ;)
(If stuck skip the next 2 steps when fixed start again)
Undo drain plug with a bucket or drain pan ready to catch the old Oil
Once drained replace drain plug
Swear at stuck fill plug then remove
Fill until oil reaches the bottom...
It's 1/8 BSP (British Pipe Thread) there is a 1 TPI difference between the 2 and a degree change on the taper so they're NOT interchangable.
I'd drill it out some more and see if you can get a better bite with the extractors (as the wall gets thinner it may relax enough to come out)
