The sixth plug........

I bought an off-lease 2000 F150 6Cyl 5 speed in 2002. She recently turned 130,000 miles and I thought it about time to change the plugs. The last plug to go was the plug closest to the front/grill on the passanger side. Not sure what cylinder that is....anyhow, I couldn't put a wrench on that one so I took a closer look with a light. Damn! The plug was once snapped off and re-cemented back into place. All you see is the top third of the plug sticking out of the block!!!!
You would think that the dealer would have known...or perhaps my plugs really have all 130,000 on them...they do look pretty crappy and have a gap of 85...
Would having it drilled and re-tapped be very expensive? What would it entail?
Thanks....

you could drill it out and napa sell a kit that's a sleeve you put in and thread the plug into it, to expand the sleeve so it holds. never tried it though, but i think its worth a try.
