Default Leaking oil out of drain bolt on oil pan

I am leaking a lil oil out of the drain bolt, I think it is my drain bolt seal and think its stripped. Is there any way to fix this problem or do I have to buy a new oil pan?

You're supposed to replace the copper crush-washer every time you change your oil on a Honda. This will prevent leakage.

$200 worth of drain pain, gaskets, whatnot vs. .09 cents...
