Default 02 sensor wont budge

98 4.6l mustang
Location:02 sensor-left exhaust

I used wd-40 and a impact drill to get this 02 sensor out, but the drill stripped it. ALso their is a strange metal cirrcle ball sitting on one of the corners, making a 22mm impossible to fit around.
Do I need a professionals help?
If so how much do people charge to get one of these out- and that's all I would need?

Edit: i was going to use a torch but I read into it, and it is not a good idea from what I read.

WD40 is CRAP.

If its already stripped, PB blaster, Liquidwrench, heat, hammer, pipewrench

autozone may have the kit you need to un-strip the bolt portion. i assume it would be cheaper than having a professional work on it.
