Default 400ex oil tank problems

went to change the oil on a 400 we just got. the person that changed it before ran the plug in crooked.when we tried to unscrew it the plug brought the threaded metal part of the tank with it. otherwise i have a hole now and no threads. is there a fix or do i have to spring for a new tank ??

Could you get by with an expandable rubber plug, you might be able to get one at a hardware store.
