Fix a Ford contour Stripped oil pan treads (oil plug)?

I have a 1999 Ford contour, with a 2.5L engine. I was doing and oil change and I notice that the drain plug was not getting tight. I pull it out and I noticed that some of the oil pan treads came with the drain plug. I would like to know if there is a way to fix the oil pan without changing the pan; What tools and parts do I need to repair it? and what will be the cost to replace the oil pan? any info will be appreciated .Fix a Ford contour Stripped oil pan treads (oil plug)?
Take the old plug to the nearest NAPA store and get the proper size self tapping magnetic replacement, Easy fix.Fix a Ford contour Stripped oil pan treads (oil plug)?
well either get a tap set at the local parts store made for drain plugs or the make a kit that makes new threads and the bolt to replace the old one as well. common problem easy fix. oh get a new drain plug as well. the parts store may also have a kit that has a tap and a plug or they can pair it up.
They make a slightly oversize line of drain plugs, just for that problem. And if they make a special line to fix a problem, you can guess how many times everyday someone strips-out their drain plug !!
