Its a brass fitting with a drain cock on it, which is stripped.
Without seeing what you got, I'll make a few statements hoping they will help.
First, that is not a standard setup and I would discard it. If it is an atwood I would go back to a plastic plug, or if suburban then a zinc rod.
Second, brass doesn't corrode so I'm guessing it's the petcock that is steel and a mess. If that is the case leave the petcock alone and just pull the brass plug and throw the whole thing away. Go back to the OEM for your hot water heater.
