Stripping the threads out the sump is quite common, they're made from some strange alloy I think, which is probably why. It will probably have to be helicoiled.

Better to replace the sump, you do not want the plug to fall out.

Well s/h sump (£35 tops) and say 3 hours labour, whilst you have the sump off I would also replace the pick up pipe (£12).
