They have stripped bolt kits, they are special drill bits that drill into the bolt. I broke a spark plug once and had get a set, it was like $10 I think and did the trick. Not sure if that would fix your problem but if it's stripped it should be able to help you get it out of there.

The part that turns to get the plug out is just spinning and the plug isn't coming out so where can I get that kit?

Anyone ever run into this issue? Spark plug is stuck and the part the socket attaches to is spinning and plug not going anywhere. How can I get that out.

No the hex parts of the plug are not rounded off but it's just spinning and I used a screw driver and could see the hex part of the spark plug turn without the actual back of the spark plug move. So I'm thinking that park broke and it's just spinning around the spark plug..itself it's not going in or out..just the hex part is turning..without anything happening.

Try to find a thread repair guy, maybe a mobile service that specialises in extracting broken bolts.
I had a similar drama with the XJR https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...warned-105468/
If I hadn't got that thread repair guy to come out, it would have cost $$$$'s and the car would have been in bits for days/weeks...

The way you describe it, the threaded part of the sparkplug is still in the head, but the hex is turning?

If the metal part of the plug has broken, somewhere between the hex and the threads, then it's not coming out without some expertise & special tools.
If the threads in the head have completely stripped, then you should be able to pull the plug straight out.
Either way, you're gonna need professional assistance!
