More redneck engineering(if you haven't done so already)
Don't just pour fluid into hole and let it drain.
Using the lightest viscosity fluid you can find (and are willing to put in engine without hurting it)- put oil drain plug back into pan. Fill as much as you can (In the case of kerosene (which was suggested) fill as much as you dare before it reaches a level where it will soak the lower crankshaft arms/ assembly grease), then remove plug and let it drain at once. In the case of oil- you can fill it higher, but the idea is when the plug gets pulled, you want the fluid to flow as quickly as possible (I say this under the assumption kerosene would attack the assembly grease- but if it doesn't, then fill it higher).
While this is happening- get a muffler splitter (or some tool that vibrates) and a 6x6/ 4x4 chunk of sacrificial wood or something. Put a blunt side of the wood against the engine, and then hammer the muffler splitter into the side of the wood. The muffler splitter will trash the wood, but should vibrate the engine with no damage to engine. Perhaps an impact wrench set at a low setting against a noncritical bolt such as an engine mount bolt or something so it rat-tat-tats. Not slow hits like a mallet- just a very light high frequency vibration which might get something to move.
Do this all at once, with one foot in the air. Spend no more than 3 minutes on this!
