Help with stripped oil pan

I have a 2022 honda grom, been super busy the past few months with school and work so I haven't gotten around to riding it since I have another bike which I pretty much use as my daily. Anyways a few months ago I realized the oil plug was leaking so I took it out, changed the oil and filter, put the plug back in no problem. Few days later it was leaking again, and worse this time. Just got around to fixing it again and took the bolt out, which I had to use the wrench twisted right not left. Found out I stripped the inside on the oil pan? I think thats what it's called. When I drained the oil it had metal shaving which I am assuming is from when I stripped the pan last time I put it in. I'm not mechanically inclined at all, so need help on what the next steps are to do. Detailed steps please, I searched around and people said these options:

  1. Helicoil (idk what this is)

  2. New crankcase

  3. Get a larger bolt.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Not sure how I stripped it in the first place since I used my torque wrench on the right setting. But ya live and ya learn
