Plus gas is much better than wd40, try tightening it slightly to free the threads then undo it, failing that an impact gun and big bowl to catch the oil should do it.

I thought syphon or pump the oil out to save possibly causing damage getting the drain plug out.

I had to use my bloody legs to loosen that bolt, had to get into this weird twisted position then pushed upwards, finally started to come loose.
