Air Bleed repair?

I was drilling out my secondary Main air bleeds to fit jets to make them adjustable and I drilled the threads out trying to countersink the top. I have posted a classified seeing if anyone had extras but I've gotten no reply. Is there a way to repair them? 6mm helicoil? fill with quicksteel and tap it? Idk, looking for viable options.

I might consider replacing the carb's main body if the damage were even the slightest bit excessive. Would also like to see pics of the damage.

Why would I replace the main body if just the
air bleed are broken? Are they that difficult to find?
