The plugs are actually 13mm plugs, not 1/2" (12.7mm) plugs as they appear. Harbor Freight sells a drain plug socket set which includes a 13mm 3/8" drive drain plug socket, but since your plugs are nearly rounded I'm not sure it'll do much good anymore.

You may need to weld (or have a shop do it) an extension on to be able to remove the plugs at this point. I'm not sure what to suggest.

See this thread, it may provide some more insight.
