I have had some frozen filters in the past one or two on my own vehicles, I always wonder how that happens. Same with this guys oil drain plug, how did that get so seized up. I guess the mating flange of the bolt could have seized to the pan? The helical should avoid most galvanic corrosion issues. Similar with the oil filters the gasket should act as an insulator. In the previously mentioned case of the bolt on my bike thats on me. The manual calls for a stainless bolt, I cheaped out and bought a "temporary" steel socket head cap screw, while thinking about ordering the $18 bolt from Germany.
Anyway I would be good to hear from the original poster to see what worked and what didn't.
