It's probably stripped. If you are like me and don't like the phillips screw slot, you can replace it with the S5 radiator drain plug that has a wing so you can tighten it by hand. Whenever replacing the plug after bleeding, rotate it a few turns counterclockwise first, and then turn it clockwise to engage the threads.

Check the threads on the plug. If they look OK, then there may be a problem with the threads in the hole, or maybe a crack. I guess you could also try some teflon tape as a band-aid.
