Angry 99 FXDX Stripper Transmission Plug

OK,

**** is piling up! As you can see from the photo below my trans oil plug hole is stripped, 6 threads from what I can make out!

I did some searching, and this (Dorman piggy back plug) is a common go to answer!

My question is, with missing this much thread, should this solution still work? or should go up one size? bolt (and tap)?

Honestly, I would try just cleaning it up first. Run a thread restorer through it (not an actual tap), make certain the threads on the plug are good, put a fresh o-ring on it, and see if it seals.
