You can also tap it to a larger size and get a new bigger drain plug. There is probably helicoils you could get to repair to the correct size, but the cost would be more than a new pan.

for a 617, that's not a bad idea as you'd spend nearly as much on a helicoil set, but for the 87 300SDL, an oil pan is not a $40 affair...

fastlane's got them for $411
