stripped the bolt on my Transmission fill...Alternate Fill method?
...after I drained the transmission
I'm getting ready to leave for a trip from TX to AZ for Overland Expo so I changed the oil, then I decided to change the f/r diff fluid, then I figured why not do the transmission?
Lesson learned, from now on I will crack open the fill before I attempt to drain any fluid on my truck! Now what the hell do I do. Please tell me there's an alternative filling point?
Vehicle is an 87 4runner: 22re & W56. If I don't fix this tonight, it looks like I'll have to take the Highlander which makes which almost makes my trip to the Overland Expo pointless

FWIW - It didn't sound sarcastic to me.
I fill my trans via the dipstick. I know you have 87 but is it an option to fill the trans where the dipstick is? Just an idea. I don't know if you even have a trans dipstick. Just trying to help.

If you stripped the head you can try putting a pair of vice grips on it really tight. Then go grab yourself a new plug from a junkyard or hardware store. If you stripped the thread do like pistolbob said: retap and use larger plug.
