I wouldn't think it likely that you will set the engine oil on fire in
the length of time it would take to weld something onto the plug. Why
not use a Nut rather than a socket. Just hold it up there with vice
grips and weld in the middle of the nut.

Yup like the idiot that I am I rounded the oil drain plug on the 90 300D 2.5.
It was in bad shape to begin with and tight so there you have it. I haven’t
done anything this stupid since my early twenties when I started wrenching on
cars. My plan of attack is to weld a cheap 13 mm socket onto it and hope for
the best. Is this a bad idea to do on a drain pan filled with oil? I’ll be mig
welding.
