I want to go synthetic this time, enough conventional oil.
Get a locktite or grabit socket from canadian tire and that should be able to get it off. If not, you could always hammer in a smaller socket size but you risk damaging the socket forever.

If you do it yourself, at least you gain extra tools... you never know when you'll need them.

Or the cheapest way to do it is look for those dealfinds or groupons that do oil changes. When you take it in just specify you need a new bolt and they might just charge you an extra $5 for the bolt.
