Pics of oil leak 2004 2.7

I'ts the original drain plug so I assume it could be bad at this point, and the mechanic maybe over-tourqed. I ordered a new plug and crusher ring BUT......
Is it possible to change the plug wihtout draining the oil?

Law of gravity and all.

I overfilled mine over the summer. Pull the plug, drain into a clean container. Change the plug and take a minute to put the oil back in. Very easy. Take you only a few minutes.
