Do you have the tank pulled? The first thing I usually try in this situation is switching a spark plug from the other side (since the plug has clean threads). If you have the tank off, you should have a good, straight shot at getting the plug in straight. Use a socket and a 6" extension (or larger). You should be able to look at the angle of the extension to see if you're going in straight. Use fingers only! there will be some drag from the damaged threads in the head, but should still go okay.
