secondly, because once out of Euro Greece can pay back their loans with newly printed bitdrakhmas, and Germany will take the biggest hit of that being the biggest creditor
Normally you have to pay back loans in the currency that they were given. If you only have another currency, then you have to find someone willing to exchange them. The exchange rate isn't likely to be very good for a little while. That said, it would probably be great for the Greek economy, as a very weak currency will make exports very easy for them.
The other problem that you're not mentioning is that, if Greece leaves the Euro then Putin will be very happy to extend trade deals to them to get around sanctions and to piss off Germany and no one wants Greece to become a satellite state of the new USSR.
