Are you sure you are turning it the right (counter clockwise) way?
I have changed fluids twice now and it wasn't hard at all to get that 17mm fill plug off.
I just recently switched to the new Honda fluid since I have been getting grinding in 2nd gear with the Amsoil. So far so good. The new Honda fluid works just fine and no grinding in second gear at high rpm shifts.
