If you can find someone to help you flip the bike upside down like we used to do when we were kids and epoxy the broken parts together with something like
JB weld for aluminum,use brake clean and emery cloth first to ensure adhesion, kind of haywire but what the f
if it works-great-if not -well it sounds like you're at the end of the rope anyway.
Like pcx man said the the broken piece of the housing would help.

Labour would be much less for an engine swap.

x2.

Then you can strip the original for spares or attempt a repair. Or even sell it on.

Thats a really good last resort option. I think I might do that. I'd like to know if other people have done that with success though.

Its almost impossible to get it oil tight.
I did it once on a bike I had crashed and ripped the oil pressure switch out, tearing off a small piece of the thread hole in the casing.
Oil persistently leaked out, not much but enough to be a problem, so it got cleaned up and traded in at an unsuspecting dealer.

FWIW, I've had consistently good luck with JB Weld. At this point it might be worth a try if you have all the chunks.

With all due respect to gn2 he was dealing with a pressurized oil gallery, not so in your case.
I know I sound a little goofy suggesting flipping the bike upside down,but the location of the plug makes things difficult,gravity is going to make the process of
getting everything clean and oil free difficult. Cleanliness is a top priority here-nothing will adhere to a surface with oil on it.
If you do manage to get the bike upside down-no gas in the the tank-you might be able to convince a top notch tig welder to have a look.
But I'm pretty sure they will tell you they don't want to go near the alloy these cases are manufactured with.

I have had remarkable luck with a product called Pig Putty. I ran into it 35 years ago in an industrial situation. It is a two part solid epoxy that kneads into a form-able solid adhesive that can actually take threads. It will also put up with a bit of oil (one of its selling points was as an emergency repair material for diesel trucks if they got a bit of a leak in a fuel tank or line). Seriously clean would obviously be better, mind you.

I can't guarantee that it would work in your situation, but you wouldn't have to put the scoot on its head to do the repair. If you are totally up against the wall, you sort of have nothing to loose.

Certainly worth spending some time laying next to your scooter, spraying and cleaning all oil with de-greaser and dish soap and hot water until sqeaky clean. Invest an hour or two or three with this cleaning.
Butter up the plug and broken piece with that metal epoxy. Fit it all together. Let set ......wait.
Refill with oil - see what happens.
If you can post some clear photos - repair tips might improve.

Just some input here from my personal experience. I too stripped an oil drain plug once upon a time, but on my ATV. I used JB Weld. Not the JB Kwik Weld, but the regular JB Weld, it's better than the kiwk. It leaks a very tiny amount, but not enough that I have ever had to add oil and that was years ago. Still riding the ATV to this day. I siphon the oil out for oil changes.
