I hope you mean that the porcelin broke off, I've never seen the threads break off of the plug. I've had the plug break but nut unit and threads stayed together, as you mentioned it was cross threaded, by my own flesh and blood! I was able to remove it then clean the threads up with a thread chaser made just for this occasion.

Good luck, Ken.
