Fit a piggy back sump plug, which taps a new thread and becomes a fixed plug. The piggy back part is in the centre of the bolt which is actaully your new sump bolt, if that makes sense, so in essence your old plug 19mm spanner size will be the fixed plug with an over size thread into the sump, and in the middle of that your new sump bolt size will be around 15mm spanner size. Top fix and no need to worry anymore about stripped threads.
Done this fix already on dubs and a few Porsches
Here is an example
