They kept the car for a couple days, but eventually drilled new threads into the oil pan and replaced the bolt.
Got a hold of a bolt specialist (their words) to come out and validate the fix - this part took the longest as the guy is very busy and couldn't come out the same day I dropped the car off.
Car's been perfectly fine since.

Same thing happened to me dealer said they tried to re-thread the thread but didn't work so they used a time sert it's like a solid thread bushing which binds itself to the aluminum. Haven't had a issue since.
