Your are sure it is transmission fluid? If it is, there are probably seals on the shafts and on the pan that are leaking. This means removing parts like the transmission pan and replacing the gaskets. It could also be a main seal on one of the shafts that are on the engine and output side of the transmission. This is not a job for the average do it yourself person. It requires special tools.
I wonder if the sealing washer that is on this plug has been lost. These washers are usually aluminium or have a rubber insert, and without it there you are trying for a steel on steel seal.
A stripped thread can often still be backed out, that's no guarantee. Try for a tightening torque of about 15-20 ft-lb and if you get to that it isn't stripped.
Don't worry if it IS stripped, you can buy anoversize self-tapping plug.
You've got to do the obvious things, look at your spark plug wires, if you see what looks like chalky residue they are arcing replace them and your plugs. Check all vacume lines for leaks, and make sure your air filter is clean
Most likely problems described are not related. Rough idle and rough at low speeds could be caused by spark plug and wires due for replacement. Tranny pans known to leak and is an easy condition to remedy with filter and gasket replacement
