oil drain bolt

Well, using the stock tools I managed to strip the oil drain bolt on
my A15. This especially sucks when you know this would have never
happened if you were at home with your trusty craftsman tools. But I
am abroad, and am officially -- no pun intended -- screwed. Anyone
got any ideas where I could get my hands on one of these things? If
they are the same on all U.S. models, does anyone have an old one
lying around they are no longer using? Am planning a trip to Turkey
from Germany, and would like to change the oil every now and again
should the need arise.
Cheers,
Erik in Berlin

What size boot do

I normally wear Size 11 Redwing Pecos boots (at least that's
what I've worn for the last 13-14 years)
On the tool thread,
I have the CruzTools econokit (the bigger one that uses imported
rather than domestic tools) and have been really happy with it.
Wasn't too expensive, though I don't remember the exact price.
Has to go in the saddlebags or a tank bag though; won't fit in the
KLR tool spot. I keep a can of WD-40 for the chain there
