Sump Plug Ideas ??

Gday,
I have recently bought a 04 FE450. It has a flogged out thread for the sump drain plug. The plug that is in is a tapered thread brass thingo,it seals, but does not have a magnet.
Has anyone got a fix so that I can install a magnetic plug?? I am thinking that having a magnet is crucial??
Thought someone might know of a plug off another bike that is larger diameter. I could possible re-tap the hole to fit.
cheers

more thoughts

After more contemplation, and much frustration I have thought of another possibility.
Should I simply use the oil screen plug to drain the oil and just leave the dodgy (but sealing) plug where it is????
Can anyone see a problem with this plan??
Still, I haven't overcome the issue of not having a magnet to pick up fillings etc.
Any advice will be appreciated.
cheers
Patto
