Oil plug is striped

do you have to remove the exhaust
is this a common problem the plug just spins

You're screwed. Spectra Premium is an aftermarket brand oil pan that is available. Check eBay, and your local parts suppliers. Make sure you get the one with the hole for the crankshaft position sensor.

The torque value on the oil drain plug is 26 foot pounds. That's tight enough, but not very tight.

You have to disconnect the exhaust from the manifold or the head, whichever is easier and let the exhaust drop down just a little bit, maybe. I think I've actually got an oil pan off without hanging the exhaust down, but I can't remember.

Ok IM back
I managed to get the old plug out with some plyers and pulling while turning
the plug was striped bad installed new one no leaks
good to go on that
just trying to figure out the ac now

the ac clutch on the compressor is loud
ac not blowing COLD but cool
added some freon and it might have helped a little but not much
do you think the compressor is on its way out the reason its not COLD

The proper way ti diag a workng, but poor performing a/c system is to do a full evac and recharge adding dye to the system. When the a/c performs poorly again, check for leaks with a UV light. Noise does not necessarily effect a/c performance, but needs to be addresses first. A bad compressor will cause a/c performance issues.
