If you are having leaking problems, replace it with a new plastic plug. Don’t modify to fix the leak. No one should risk having a mini bomb in their trailer or RV because if it can’t blow out through that hole, the pressure is going to go somewhere.

No offense, but isn't the water heater's pressure/temperature relief valve supposed to handle that?
Also to the original poster, as another commenter said drill a hole in the cap and insert a tool for removing broken-off sprinkler nipples.
