Default semi stripped drain plug

so i went to change the oil for the first time since ive had the car and its a little stripped

the 15mm fits but after a couple tries it just slides off...i dont wanna do anymore damage

what'd be the best way to go about getting it off

Crank it off there with some vice grips, then put a replacement back in.

That would be your best bet Cole. Good luck, should be able to find them at GM, NAPA, AA, and AZ, or orileys.
