Mend Fiat Problem 100 Change

How do I fix my sump nut problem? (1.6L Fiat Bravo 100 16V Troffeo)?

I went to change the oil on my Fiat 1.6L Bravo 100 16V Troffeo, and to my horror, as I started loosening the sump nut, I found out that it doesn't matter which way you turn, it's stuck there, not going in any further nor coming out; it's not in straight though, it looks like a thread was missed while screwed back in the last time the oil was changed. How can I take this sump nut out? Do I have to take the whole sump out and do it from the inside? I there a way to take it out from the underside of the car?
I've only just bought the car and I've never had this sort of problem.
Thanks for your help in advance.

terry,if the sump plug is not leaking then leave it alone and instead take the car to the nearest national tyer depot they will change the oil and filter for you for about ten quid they drain the oil from the dip tube by suction .if you dont fancy that try..if it is a nut place ring spanner on nut then place a scewdriver between the spanner and sump apply gentle pressure in a downward motion while turning the ring spanner this may put enough pressure on the nut to unscew it.
good luck
