Use an easy out to get the stripped brass plug out. They are sold at Sears.

Thanks ATK for asking this question I was just looking for this mod myself. I am on my virgin diesel and this is one of the most assinine inventions Ford came up with. While fuel is pouring out everwhere, because you can't put something on the opening; reach up there and shove a set screw back in its hole. Needless to say, I don't think that there is a clean way to do this. It makes me wonder if the designers ever have to work on these vehicles.

yeah makes you wonder, when they design vehicles they must not work on them afterwards. i wonder this almost everyday. get to work on many different makes....

I had the same problem getting my OEM plug out. Ended up using a torx wrench and hammering it in...along with a liberal dose of penetrating oil. I replaced it with the newer style, and love the ease of use.
