With regards to the sump bolt you could try the "Sealey tool 7524" which are a set of removal sockets that go over the damaged nut/bolt then you fit a 12 point spanner or socket over the top and gently turn.
i used this method on a rounded off caliper bolt with success.
Costs around £10.

Not sure about your S60, but as the oil filter is accessed from the top of the engine on my 2.4 S40, i use one of those 12v battery operated suction pumps to remove the oil via the dipstick hole then fit a new filter without the need to lift the car off the ground. So much less hassle and i don't agree with those that say you don't get it all out because i need to put in more oil than that listed for a service refill.

Good luck with whatever method you choose.
add me to the "extract the oil with vac pump" list
(mines a manual sealey pump not a posh electric)


sump plug , been there said the same words hence the "avoid the issue" with vac pump via the dipstick tube and with 2 x V50 2.4i petrol Se Lux's to do > "good move me"
