Stripped Oil Pan Drain Plug

After seeing the stripped plug, my first thought would be to first run the same size tap through the pan to try to clean the existing threads up, and use a stock size drain plug. If that doesn't work, escalate to to tapping the next size, and and a larger thread size plug if possible, and if that doesn't work, drop the pan.
