I'd like to see a photo of the plug with the split, maybe my engineer brain can see if it's splitting at a mold parting line or something.
In all my years I've never seen a plug split, I have seen the center of the hex part pop out. Some of the plugs you can buy have a very thin top or hex and a deep countersink on the threaded side and others are solid.
