It don't work for crap. The only shot at repairing it is to get a helicoil kit and drill and tap to the helicoil size, threadlock the coil in and install new drain plug and check closely for leaks. Other than that, r&r the pan, don't f' around with a chance of loosing the drain plug or you'll need a motor.
