Always remember, these magnetic drain plugs require FAR LESS torque when re-installing. I use the L&N Magnetic Billet Drain Plug and the torque spec is only a low 19 ft.lbs. This may have been part of your problem.

Not sure what part your stripped, so maybe you can tap a larger allen or hex wrench into the plug and remove? Sorry. Good luck.

I don't know anybody who dosen't do the 5K or 6 months. I thought that was the new standard. Learn something new everyday.
