This has been discussed here before but might be hard to find..................
The problem IS that the head of the drain bolt is THIN for some stupid reason. To make matters worse, most sockets are tapered slightly INSIDE the socket to make it easier to get on a bolt "by feel".
So....there are 2 solutions: A box wrench, 6 sided not 12 OR take your socket to the SIDE of a grinder wheel and grind it down until the taper is gone. Had I kept my GZ, I was going to look for an equivalent bolt with a fatter head.
P.S. Be sure to use a crush washer if you end up doing it yourself. Not having one on there now may be a large part of the problem.
