Stuck drain bolt. Help? - TaoTao Hellcat 125cc

Welp, first oil change and the piece of crap drain bolt is too damn tight. Already damaged it using vice grips after unsuccessfully unscrewing it using a regular wrench. Tried turning both left and right. My torque wrench didn't have sockets large enough. I might just go ahead siphon the oil out but what happens when I have to change the filter? Why can't manufacturers just use screws instead of stupid bolts. Thankfully this bike was only 1000$ practice bike so if it ends up ruined then it's not a huge money loss but I obviously want to take care of it and I can't just take it to a dealer unlike my Japanese scooter. Plz help...
