Have you checked the thread on it to see if it's rounding off?

It sounds like it's been done up too tight in the past for it to strip.

after i bought the car i noticed it had a dint in the sump and both drain and fill plugs on the gearbox had nuts welded to them.so would not surprise me if it had been overtightened at sum stage,its due for a service so ill check out the thread on the weekend
