What's it made out of?

If it's steel or aluminum you could take it someplace and have it welded. Then you could use the thread repair insert.

Most likely easier to just replace it, though.

And yeah- you'll need a gasket, some rtv for good measure- the red stuff works great for this, and a new oil pan.

Oh- and obviously new oil.

I can't remember exactly what you have to take out on the 636 to get the oil pan off... it's been a while since i worked on one. My GF has an 03 that i'll be riding this weekend. If you want, i can take a look and tell you exactly what you need to know. But honestly, i'm sure you can figure it out if you take your time.
