Old Radiator Drain Plug inspection

Well its no wonder my radiator is leaking. I took a good look at my drain valve/plug, and see that it had obviously been through some use. This is good news because that could be a chance that my radiator is not  faulty. If my radiator is faulty, I am screwed because Honda don't make those for my Civic anymore.
The o-ring is dried up and cracking, the threads on the plug are striped. Looking at the black coating, the last owner must have had held the radiator together with some anti leak-silicon.
I took an image of my plug:
