Initially you will need to find out what size the sump plug is before you can think about tapping a thread for a new one. So, either you take the old plug out for measuring or you buy a new plug from a supplier.
If the thread in the sump is stripped then the new plug will need to be the next metric size up.
As you've been advised, greasing the tap will remove 90% of the swarf with it......pouring some fresh oil into the engine will probably flush out the rest of it.
If you want to fit a new sump, it should be easy enough so long as there isn't a crossmember in the way - preventing the sump from lowering.
Sumps don't always need gaskets these days, but they do require a high temperature silicone sealant......I use Wurth stuff.
