Default jwt oil spacer HELP !!

I installed the oil pan spacer but kinda stripped one of the bolts. I got it back on but obviously by the oil underneath my car not enough. What to do ?

well I jacked the car up and its not as bad as I thought. The gasket I used was thick enough or didnt have enough time to dry and its leaking in the corner of the pan. Worst case is I have to drop the pan again and redo. Is there anything as a temp fix I can use to stop the oil from leaking? I just goobed so gasket sealer on there for now hoping for the best. Its getting ready to storm and I dont have access to the garage.

you will need to retap the hole. no big deal really just go slow and be careful.
