Help! Plug thread issues

Checking/gapping my plugs right now for alky and noticed blow by/ fuel deposits on the #4 plug. Seems the plug wasn't in all the way b/c the oil dipstick tube forced the socket more and more at an agle as the pulg went in. I don't belive the hole is stripped, or cross threaded to much, just the angle finally made the plug threads bite in to the head. I'm going now to get a tap and using plenty of grease to catch particles, clean up the threads. I'll get downpipe/turbo gasket and collector gaskets at the store(assuming availability) but not sure if removal is necessary. Any tips appreciated.
