I don't know about the type of sump plug on Ilmoint's P2 S60 but on my V40 and the C70 the head of the plug is only a half depth and there is no way there is enough depth to get a pair of Stilsons to grip - it would just screw off the side and chew the hexagon even further. The only way to undo mine if they were overtightened would be with a six hexagon socket squarely fitted and a breaker bar.
