Default Stripped oil pan bolt

I took my 95 SLS 4.6L to a local gas station for a regular scheduled oil change. Everything was going fine until it was time for another oil change. Usually I do my oil change myself but this time, I went under the car and my oil pan bolt was completely stripped. I tried to get it off anyway but it wouldn't budge. I used WD-40, I tried waiting until the engine cooled considerably but nothing worked. Anybody have any ideas?

I dont understand .. ,, .. if it was stripped, it be leaking and lose.

IF it be me, I keep quiet, take it to the same gas station for a oil change, dont say a thing, do NOT say you tried to get it off cuz they will then blame you.

when they give you the bad news, tell them they changed it last .. you got receipt, right?

probably need a new pan ...
