Jeff, you are SOL. Ignore it and check the oil frequently. Try a little high temp oil resistant silicone seal on the plug, but only near the head to avoid getting silicone seal in the oil. Or: 1. Sell the vehicle. 2. JB Weld the plug in and sell the vehicle with a pump for changing oil through the fill tube. 3. Drill out and tap new threads and use an oversize plug. This will place chips in the crankcase right under the oil pick up. Fill and drain case a few times with a quart or two of 5w/30 or other light oil in hopes of getting them out and then sell the vehicle. 4. Get a complete new engine. The choice is yours!
