Well, just figured if he was messing with a couple small screws and pliers
that he probably doesn't have an easy-out.
Only drawback would be they are designed to bite into metals.....They
expend alot of force in an outward direction so they bite in harder as you
turn......Would that make the plastic expand and bind on the radiator itself
causing the plug to be harder to remove. The screw wouldn't do that.

Why not use an easy-out?

Could you find a reverse thread screw and use it like an easy out?
