Its a standard thread.
If all else fails weld a bolt to it. The heat will shrink it when it cools and you have something to get a spanner onto.

Get a new one from the wreckers. The end of the bolt is magnetized to collect any metal in the oil. Welding the bolt will destroy the magnet and cause the diff center to wear quicker.
