I would think that the threads were stripped. Aluminum heads can be problems if the plugs are not replaced on a stone cold engine.

They are expensive but do not require cylinder head removal with careful installation. Several other companies offer similar products. Do a Google or check with your local auto parts house.

Good luck and let us know. :)
