Perhaps there's a stripped thread or 2, enough to cause some leakage. I'd try tapping the drain hole, or having a shop do it, as it'll likely be cheaper than a new pan.
Are you sure there isn't a leak from somewhere else, and it's just dripping from the low point plug?

yea im pretty sure the leak is coming from drain plug. i installed the plug a couple times already and i can see the leak originating from there. this afternoon, i bought some nylon washers and added it to the plug and it slowed down the leak but didnt stop it.
