Asunto: What to do with a stripped drain plug?

I've got a problem that I'm sure everybody has delt with at some point in
their lives. Last time i changed the oil the engine was really hot. i had to
reuse the crush ring and unforunately stripped the casing a small bit. 3000
miles later not a drop has leaked and it's time again to change. how should
I handle this?
I went to get more crush rings from the dealer this morning and was told I'd
have to replace the pan! errghh!
I'm not too sure about that. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
-Mike
