Default Need help! Stripped Oil plug

So i was taking out the plugs in the rear of a bseries block today. The two 14mm oil plugs. And the first one came out ok but i ended up stripping the second one. i was wondering if anyone has ever ran into this problem and how they took care of it? Thanks

if the heilcoil doesn't work, then you'll need to drill it out to the next biggest size, and tap new thread in there, and get a new bolt that matches your new thread.

Sounds like he didn't strip out female thread, rather the head of the bolt.

Use an ez-out/extractor.
