If the oil drain plug is stripped, you can use Dodge truck replacement drain plug, part number 652886 (M22-1.5) it will go in farther (without the screen) and seal the washer against the pan surface. part available from most auto supply stores.

Then use a suction system to remove oil out the dipstick tube. Much easier and you don't have to mess with that darn plug.
