Plan D: If the oil cooler really is broken, alright I'll look for a used one.
But thanks Dynomite I really appreciate your help!

I like your Plan A.
If it is originally an NPT or Pipe thread it would be relatively easy to find a slightly larger straight thread for which you can drill and tap and then use a bonded washer like for the Oil Pan Drain Plug. You would then have a Real and somewhat Unique Oil Cooler Drain Plug
Others would then consider that conversion for Draining/Changing Oil Cooler Oil
