Manual tranny oil drain bolt stripped!!! Help!

It was like that when I got the car. Its the bolt you put your 1/2 inch socket wrench into. Its stripped to hell. What should I do? Take it to a dealership? What do you think they'll do and how much will it cost me? Anyone else have this sort of problem?

Thanks in advance guys. I appriciate your help.

Drain the fluid from the black plug that is held by one bolt on the tranny.it Should be on the drivers side on the side of the tranny.

Umm, its his filler bolt thats drained. I assume you stripped the one from the case and not the bolt itself? If its the bolt, I have an extra one. If its the case, well I suppose you can try to JB weld it and retap it.
