Pull header for oil pan replacement?

They stripped the threads on my oil pan at the last oil change yesterday. The communications were bad, so now I know today, and now I'm leaking oil all over the place. Will they need to pull the header for an oil pan replacement? It's a Borla EL.

Last time, they stripped a lug nut. They said it had been overtightened before they got to it, but I doubt that. Probably just a bit of righty tighty when they applied the air gun. Oops! I actually bought a bunch of studs just in case. I guess i should get an oil pan just in case.

I'll see how big the puddle is tomorrow morning. Might head straight in and demand a loaner. I don't want to wait and then destroy my engine.
