Just get a self threading larger diameter bolt and put it in...that's what I would do.

Take note of the bolt size and pick up a Heli Coil that's one size larger. Drain the pan and thread the Coil into the stripped threads so it can cut new ones. Then pick up a new bolt to match the new threads along with a new crush washer. It's either that or get a new pan.
I hope you didn't hit up VIR with the bike like that.

oil pans suck. you shouldnt really thread and tap for a larger bolt, the pan normally isnt thick enough. Helicoil or you can TRY silicone although I dont reccomend it one bit. or replace the pan. use a torque wrench next time ; )

Silcone and JB Weld can't fix everything, if that bolt's stripped you're walking a thin line between safety and danger. If it comes loose and drops down it'll drain the pan all over your rear tire while causing a blown motor and possibly a bad wreck for you and whoever's behind you.

I had a leaking oil drain plug on my 96 and I replaced the whole pan only to find out it was the actual bolt. Unusual because the pan I believe is aluminum (softer) than the steel plug, but replacing the pan ($100+) didnt do the trick. I tried the "right" size plug from Pep boys/Strauss and that didnt work either. It wasnt until I used the correct Kawi part until the problem went away. I spent $150+ and it wound up being a $6 repair.
Might not be the same for you, but something to consider.
I certainly wouldnt use silicone, but if you do make sure its the high temp stuff.
Make sure you replace the crush washer as well as the bolt.

The pan might not be stripped, could be a crush washer problem. Unless of course you knowingly stripped it.

When doing the helicoil, do I have to remove the oil pan completely?
Cakes - Yeah it's stripped

If you are removing the pan, get a gasket and a new pan and drain plug with a washer, just do it, it's not that $$ and it will be 100%

getting the new pan would be easiest, but if you decide to fix the old one, you dont need to take it off to helicoil it but it will be a bitch doing it upside down while laying on the ground. and if you do it with it on the bike, afterwards leave the plug out and dump a quart of oil in the filler hole while shakin the bike around a little to get all the metal shavings out
