Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
Seems to be 2 people in this thread with stripped drain plug issues when it was done at a valvoline or shop - maybe thats a clue to change your own oil and not deal with the headache

I had my first drain pan stripped a month after I got my license, took my car to a local indy shop because I "didnt have the time" - well they called me and told me the pan was stripped, must have been that way before they changed the oil - I said thats impossible I just changed the oil last year and always torque the plug with a torque wrench - They said well either its gonna drip and leak slowly or you can bring us the new pan ($250) and we'll only charge you half the labor to replace it

Long story short I've been changing my oil ever since
