In fact, even if you don't use the magnetic plug, why not just switch to a flat nylon washer (like many cars have) that can be re-used at each oil change? Is there anything that sacred about the copper crush washer?
I used the nylon washer and have had NO issues. I don't see what the big deal is that washer must be copper. It's ironic that Nissan would insist on a copper washer but yet still uses failure prone Clutch Slave Cylinders on their Manual transmissions.
