you could try to get a flat head screw driver behind it a pry in the drain bolt as you un screw it then get a thread chaser and chase the threads and install a new drain bolt . If that dont work better order a oil pan

i hate when people come into my jiffy lube and try to blame their ****ed up car on me.
One dude came in and said that we let his car leave with no oil filter. I just looked at him and said. "Listen buddy, I'm under that car when it leaves, If it didnt have an oil filter... id be covered in oil. Stop bull****ting me and get the **** out!"

well if you get it out, I would buy a self-tapping oversized plug. Once you get the new plug tapped pour some of your used oil back in the motor to try and wash out any shavings. Then just clean the threads out and you should be ok. Maybe until your next oil change use an oil filter magnet.
