That's a tough one. You really don't want to shear off the bolt. I would try a piece of pipe over a wrench, for extra torque. Considering what's above it, it really shouldn't be stuck due to rust, so it was likely just over-torqued on the last oil change.

I once had hard time to undo the bolt on a corolla. It was way over torqued by the previous person who maintained it.

All you can do is apply enough force to remove the bolt. It it comes out in one piece...great! If the threads strip the oil pan is easily replaced.
