dont worry. Drain pan > drain plug. Go out and buy a new drain plug. $3 at stealership. Worst case is you'll have to rethread the drain pan, but I highly doubt that.
and make sure you get a new plug gasket or that sucker is going to leak.

Helicoil should work if the pan threads are stripped. Easier than replacing the whole pan.
