Motor mount bolt size

Hi While I was changing the oilpan the other day i managed to over torque one of the bolts holding the motor mounts to the engien. Now it just spins, and since I was doing the work in a shop after hours I had to just leave it in. So now i need to know the size and thread on those bolts so I can buy an insert. If someone knows any other ways of fixing this problem please chime in

Finding an insert ,helicoil may be very hard or costly because of the fine thread .Drill out the motor mount and retap the hole in the motor bigger ,If you need a longer bolt then stock I can send you one from my oil pan brace sale . Engien =engine ,I can not type wery vell either .
