Be more specific, threaded studs are used at the oil pan so you can just replace them if they get stripped. Are you saying the part of the stud that threads into the block is stripped and you cant get it out?

I think he's talking about the drain plug. You can try an oversized plug and retap the hole. Otherwise replace oil pan.

If you paid someone to change the oil and they messed up the plug, go back there and demand that they fix it. Stripped threads are not a normal situation.
