Well you either overtightend the glow plug, put a glow plug in while block was hot and overtightened it, or you crossthreaded the hole. The glow plug only needs to be snugged up.

You can get a new button head for cheap. When you get a new one make sure the plug doesn't start to cut its own threads. When installing a plug twist it backwards to seat the threads and then tighten it.

... and don't put in an old or dirty plug, that's bad too. some heads have the button built in, you may need to buy a hole new head.
hope it didn't hit anyone standing over it refueling or setting it down, that would be the big bummer.
