I've heard of it. Usually from the plug being over torqued and stipping the threads.

+1 If the plug is still on the end of the wire check the threads. You might need to rethread the block/ run a thread chaser through there. The only other thing I've heard, and this was only once, was the porceline piece shooting out leaving the threads in the block. The guy had a heck of a time getting them out.

well if the threads are douched then you might be able to get away with a heli coil. http://www.emhart.com/products/helicoil ... design.asp (http://www.emhart.com/products/helicoil/heliex/design.asp)
