Eazy out or you could heat up a flat blade screwdriver push it into the plastic to give it something to bite onto then undo it.

The post above is an excellent suggestion, I did the same with mine except I used a dremel with a hi speed bit to sink a groove in it, then just used a flat blade screwdriver to remove it. I replaced mine with a brand new plug of the same type which I got from my local radiator repairer.
