Might be able to tap it. If there is not enough metal to get a good thread you may have to carefully drill it a bit bigger and install a sleeve, then tap it.

yep. Helicoil or something similar.
This:
Permatex Form-A-Thread Stripped Thread Repair Kit 81668
will also work... I've used it successfully in the past. You can find it at the regular parts stores.

Don't even bother to drill it.
just bring up a smaller size bodied bolt from the underside and nut it up top.
You just need the size to be slightly smaller than the actual hole with the "stripped threads" in it.Tighten it up.
Then you are done.
Doesn't even matter if it is standard size really,unless you are picky as no one would know anyways!
