Could pressure or oil blow one of my spark plugs out its port?

Is being stripped the only reason this could happen?

The spark plug and where it lives are designed to withstand the pressure of compression and combustion, essentially an explosion! If your mystery vehicle [bet its a ford truck] has spit out a spark plug then the culprit lies with stripped, defective threads in the head, Defective plug or a severely cracked cylinder head. Do not attempt to use a Helicoil in the UK or any other country for that matter. You'll need the appropriate repair based on what vehicle / engine this is. A popular product is called Time-sert and you might make a fix with this if it is only bad threads.

Either the thread was damaged or the plug was loose. If the thread in the head is damaged you can get a repairer to fit a new thread. It's called a 'Helicoil' in the UK.

No. Oil pressure won't cause it.

If you get lucky it was just loose and putting a new one in and see if it will tighten up.
