I'm a giant idiot and now I need help

So long story short, I dropped my drain plug while I was changing the oil. I cleaned it off and thought that it would be no big deal. So I went to put it back on and it stripped out the pan drain. Turns out that when I dropped it, it bent the threads and those bent threads stripped out the drain hole.

So the drain hole is stripped and will not allow me to tighten the drain plug. So I'm an idiot. My question is, is it time to order a new sump cover, or can I tap out a new drain?
