On my old 84, the water would collect at the base of the spark plug and slowly seep down the threads into the chamber. Just an issue of the age of the bike and the number of changes. I would put a small bead of high temp silicone around the base and no problem.
But I agree with Bike'n'Dennis - to cause that kind of damage it seems likely something else is hinky is going on...
I have an old two stroke where the plug sits in a hole under the gas tank. I have never had water find it's way past the threads and into the combustion chamber in 200,000 miles of riding. the water must have found it's way into your cylinder by another means or you left the plug loose
