bad idea. are you talking about like a car plug?

The size of the threaded base matters very little, so drilling and tapping for a larger plug won't buy you anything.
Plugs come in heat ranges and you can gap them differently, and increase spark by installing a larger coil that produces more spark.

Well, he didn't say so each of us made our assumptions ;-)
If the threads are damaged one can re-drill and re-tap for a larger plug, or purchase a single-use helicoil kit for this purpose, and continue to use the OEM spark plug.
