That sucks, guess I would drill it and tap it the next size larger plug I could find. You will have to wash out the pan, you can dump diesel fuel through the engine. Put grease on the drill and tap to collect the shavings that will minimize them. You could also helicoil it back to the original size, but you have to tap it larger then install the coil and I would not bother since it does not matter what size it is. You can put some anti seize on the new one, but likely they didn't change the oil and some water collected at the bottom and corroded it. You can drill and tap it in 10min.
