Thanks everyone, great advice.
Feast your eyes on this!

They have shorties specifically for drain plug repairs. The key thing for this to work is the bottom part of the insert has to have material to expand and lock into.

Of course you are now obligated to provide pics so everyone can see the final product if you do this.
