Oil Plug stipped. HELP!



I have an 1988 Audi 80 quattro.  My oil plug is stripped and so is the
inside of the oil pan, the part it screws into.  I have a rubber plug in
right now, but the oil is leaking a bit.  I want this fixed. What is the
best fix for it.  I can try a different rubber one, or I can re tap the
tread and get a plug to match it. Or, there is this one plug that you screw
in, and it is hollow and has a screw to go inside of it, so I just take out
the little screw??  But will it hold with the bad tread??  Well, please
help, this is giving me a big headache and all I wanted to do was change the
oil.
