It’s anyones guess if it’s the bolt or the pan. If I had to guess, probably the pan but if it were me, I’d replace the bolt and repair/chase the pan threads.
Two other things, if it spins in the drain hole that also means it’s going to leak. Fix quickly and watch your oil level.
When you fix it, make sure you pour a couple quarts of oil through the fill hole and out the drain before you put the bolt back in and fill it for good. Yes, you will waste the oil but you need to get the shavings out from cutting new threads.
The “right” way would be to pull the pan off but I get that it’s a huge PITA to do this.
