Drain plug leak questions

Well, yesterday I noticed after all this work and hell of pulling my pan and putting it back up like 6 times now, I have a small leak coming from my drain plug. "Meh, probably didn't tighten it enough. I'll give it a good snug and check the entire pan for leaks, why not:dontknow:" So I snug it as best as I thought it would and I come out today to see an even larger puddle under it after observance of it only dripping maybe a drop a day before and there is no leaks coming from anywhere else. Now its leaking 10x as worse so I go to tighten it this morning and see whats going on and it gets tight for like a second and then gets loose again then gets tight then loose again :banghead:. Anyone have a clue as to what is going on? I think at some point it got a Wally World oil change and now I am gonna need a new pan. I almost thought about putting some teflon tape on the drain plug but I know that is probably a bandage fix at best
