To be honest depend on the price i would look for new one because this problem is getting pretty common lately and used oil pan should be ok but u know its used and it may get stripped again soon

is the PLUG stripped or the threads ? If its just take to a shop they will get it out, If its the threads. get it rethreaded ( im sure they will be able to ) save the money

Rethread it OFF the engine block so the aluminum shavings dont get stuck in the pain and make their way through the engine.

And no physical gasket, they use Hondabond (its an RTV sealant).
