I would just buy a new bolt and tap a new hole. Veryy carefully

Just take it to a machine shop and have them tap a new hole.

I cant imagine it to much,I can do most repairs on my machines,some things I just wont trust myself doing!Hell,it should only take them a few minutes if they are not busy,good-luck.

Some people have had good luck heli-coiling it....machine shop should run cheap...make sure all shavings are cleaned out
