I'm not familiar with your drain pan. Helicoil might be an option. I've always hated the metal-to-metal cross-threads and strip-outs. I feel for you. I would be concerned with how much thread is available for tapping it out bigger or using a helicoil.

I've used this type of plugs with limited success on various engines in my lifetime:

You would have to size your oil drain to the rubber plug. And then I would keep an eye on it for the first few months. It may also buy you some time for a more permanent fix.
