Since this is an advice seeking thread, my observation would be first things first before you snap off that remaining plug stub while not focused and have a real problem a few bucks won't fix. Right now it's just chuckles over beer but things can go south.

Are you certain you are turning it in the correct direction? :confused2:

Pretty sure I have NEVER seen a left-hand thread drain plug!

Gave it another go with a decent pipe wrench, got a good hold on the threads and thought I had managed to get it. Just started stripping down the threads.

If you have a propane torch heat around it a bit. Grab it again and hit the wrench with hand. Rapid bumps work best. Or a hammer if you have room.
If that doesn't work getting a nut welded to it is your best bet.

It’d be messy but, can’t you just remove the entire pan? Then you’d at least have good access to work on it.

It's the transmission drain plug, pretty sure I would have to split the tractor.
