Drain plugs have always been steel, at least I've found. I don't own anything faster than my 250. They might have a crazy aluminum or titanium bolt. I've never welded aluminum so i can't speak on how easy it is upside down. I know steel is easy upside down apart from the sparks that hit your head and body. That hurts. The bike can be laid on an old blanket or couch cushion and bolt worked on while sideways. I would not be so easily defeated in taking out the engine. This is an involved job with removing the chain, fairings, carburetor, cables, etc. But it may be necessary in the end
You can check if it can be welded with a cheap flux core steel welder with a magnet or the grind it and see sparks test
