    My limited experience found that teflon tape on the threads didn't solve my problem either. I tried copper and even a thicker washer but eventually ended up repairing the contact surface and using the standard black fiber one. You might also check the "sealing" surface on your drain plug and possibly replace it with one that has a wider contact surface or ?maybe? put a wide flat washer between the bolt and the sealing washer.
