Get some Skunk2 or PWJDM or MFactory or whatever Magnetic drain plugs, the fill plug will have to be either from a dealer or a junkyard or wherever you can find it.
Since the trans case is aluminum, they should just spin right out, but just to be safe, hit it with PB for a few hours. Tap the bolts with a hammer or mallet while spraying them.

they will come out. they are tick enought. 3/8 breaker bar. that one will come out with no issue. the fill might strip a bit. but should come off . did you try to take em off yet or didnt even bother. Get new ones at the dealer...
