First you need to get the old plug out. I'm sure there are lots of ways to do this, but I'll tell you what worked for me. Get the tip of a flat head screw driver between the oil pan and the head of the plug (where the threads are). While prying the head out, use a wrench to unscrew the plug. This might take a bit of trial and error, but be patient, it will work. Then you need to go to a auto supply store and buy a new plug. I would bet that the pan threads are fine and just the plug stripped, but just in case, buy the correct plug as well as a slightly oversized thread-cutting plug. This type of plug (as it's name implies) cut new threads while sealing the drain hole. If the correct plug works, great, if not use the oversized one. Good luck and let me know if this helped.
