Somebody may have stripped the plug. I think the plug is steel and the oil pan is aluminum. That may mean the oil pan, being the softer of two metals is what stripped. The oil change place would be legally responsible, especially if the drain plug falls out the engine is destroyed by sudden, complete oil loss. This happened to a friend of mine. They fessed up quick when he told them he was a lawyer. Don't let this happen to you. Make them rethread the pan or whatever they stripped.
