Plastic Plug in the Radiator!!!!!!????????

Ok the other day i noticed that my fan was not ingauging, so i bought a fan turn on switch from JET, well i drained the block and also the radiator, before i unscrewed the plug i noticed that it was leaking already, so i unscrewed it. Well come to find out the plug was plastic and had beed strippd from before, How do i fix the problem, can i buy a bigger one that wont strip, or can i use a gasket maker on it, how can i fix it so that i dont have to worry about it leaking any more..

Thanx
Dan

What plug? Drain plug for the radiator? Theres a plastic insert in there thats replaceable, make sure you get the replacement FIRST if thats what it is, so you dont screw up the tank taking your old one out.
