Use a tap and re-tap the threads for the plug.

That's what the dealer did....or atleast say they did. They are trying to say that they are not responsible for stripping the threads on the oil pan and drain plug, but they are the ones who changed the oil last. So then they wanted 300 something for a new oil pan and gasket and everything. So basically they tried screwing me. what do you think I should do about the dealer and with the oil pan? Do you think I should trust them with the retapping of the drain plug and not replace the oil pan and everything or do think I should replace it?
