I don't replace them on mine, low torque too

And I don't need a lot of torque to get it sealed. I never go much past 1/2 a turn once the washer hits the oil pan. I also have issues with gorilla's at jiffy lube ever since I attempted to remove my cousin's drain plug. Actually sheared part of the plug off with vise grips, we had a new drain plug ready, but had to go to jiffy lube so they could get the dang thing off. what a pain in the butt that was.
Maybe the threads on your drain plug (or in the oil pan are toast. I don't see another reason for the washer to allow a leak, it should sit flush with the oil pan and the drain plug unless it's bent a little bit.
I replace my drain plug when it starts to get rounded and I replace the washers every 3-4 oil changes. It hasn't seemed to be an issue.
