The most important thing is , after removing it is replacing the copper crushable washer on it. When tightening back up ,its only 22 ft. lbs. Which isn't a lot. Use the search feature an put in ,"drain plug question" with the quotation marks, this thread should alleviate some of your concerns.
I am not sure what you are saying, but I think you are recomending leaving it jammed in and use a topsider - correct?
