Transmission Drain Plug Leaking

I'm leaking tranny fluid from my drain plug. Problem started after I changed the fluid. Non of the local dealers have any plugs and they also say they don't show any washers listed.

Any ideas of how to stop the leak?

If you started it with your fingers and I'm sure you did it shouldn't be cross-threaded so it may have a small piece of trash or grit caught up in the mating surface. The only way to stop it though would be to drain again and start over. Sorry!

Looks like some idiot (me) stripped the bolt. Have to decide to try to fix it or to go for a new Mag-Hytech pan.
