Remove the plug and chase the female pipe threads with a tap. Clean plug threads with a wire wheel. If the threads are damaged, get another plug. Wrap teflon tape around threads tightly about 3 turns. Work the tape into the threads by turning the plug between your thumb and forefinger.
Most pipe plug leaks are due to poor quality threads or improper application of thread sealant.
