Helicoil it then, simply drill it a tad and tap then put coil in and cut some bolts to size to fit simple, otherwise your going to change the head for the sake of a bit of drilling and tapping.
To cut bolts to size simply put two nuts on and lock out as u would to undo a stud, and use the nut as a guide in a vice so you cut it swuare clean end up and jobs a gooden. otherwise space out with some washers id probably put a locking washer on too but no other options really,
I will have same problem when i come to change manifold gasket as its passin on the block and egt a puff of smoke from above engine but helicoils are awesome piece of kit tbh
