Is it the drain plug or the pan threads that are stripped?  Rockauto shows this as the replacement which should be easy enough to find locally.  If the pan threads are stripped, they do make a larger drain plug that will re-thread (tap) the pan.  I had to do that a few years ago and it has been working fine/no leaks.  If you need to go that way, just work slow, make sure its square and once threaded in ~ 80% remove and clean the drain plug and pan thread area, run a magnet around the drain plug hole and may even pour a little oil in and let it drain out to help remove any debris.
