v6 iac removal

I was looking at my tb today and i saw some small dents on the top of the iac, So im guessing it has stuck on the prev owner and they smacked it with a wrench to unstick it. I have seen posts on here about unscrewing it and cleaning it but when i looked at mine it doesnt seem to unscrew very easy. Like where do you put the wrench? There is only the plastic plug. Im afraid if i put a wrench on the plastic ill crack the iac and need a new one, or worse, get it stuck in the tb. Please help
