Thank you for this post and the feedback from your experience!
Given they're an o-ring seal and such a light torque spec we all know that they
shouldn't strip out, but in the real world $h!t happens; especially on plastic parts that get heat cycled.
FWIW,
I was able to find a vendor that sells OE drain plugs for the 8HP. Apparently they're on back order. They cynical side of me says - "Oh, I've heard this one before. Indefinite backorder" but we'll just see how it works out.
If/When an order actually goes thru I'll update this post with Vendor contact info for those out there interested.
