HELP: Oil Drain Plug Stripped

[msark]

Had my 97 for 2 months and a nightmare of repairs with only 85,000 miles.... Now I find the oil drain plug stripped and in the pan with 2 rubber washers and rtv... Is there a simple repair or is it a new pan? Thanks...

the plugs are supposed to strip before the threads in the oil pan so simply replacing the plug should do.
