You're probably getting this error because the 15M that's being used may be spread across the space that was initially allocated for the SYSTEM tablespace. Try coalescing the tablespace first: alter tablespace SYSTEM coalesce. Look at free space: select bytes from sys.dba_free_space where tablespace_name='SYSTEM' order by bytes; and you will see the amount of free space in the tablespace. Now resize the tablespace based on the largest amount of free space available.
Hope this helps.
