They make a tool to remove these. Until I had the tool I used to use a large enough chisel to bit into the plastic but not so large that it would tear into the threads. Once its pounded in you can use a wrench on the chisel to twist it out. One of two things will happen. It will either come out in one piece or it will break apart. Either way it will come out.
