Personally, I would drain it, it will save you time and headache.
If you don't want to do this, try and add some octane booster, literally shake the car up to slosh it and mix it up. Check the fuel line coming out of the tank...I have found filters thier put by others in the past and it is probably plugged, change the other fuel filter and make sure you get all the goo out of your float bowls. If it runs, don't turn it off and drive around the block a lot until you can add more new high octane gas, and repeat. (I say drive around the block because it will be easier to push it back home when it stalls again.)

-Good luck.
