But
Strip some 18 gauge+- multistrand wire.
Wrap the bolt threads, only in the valley of the threads, with ONE strand of the copper wire.
Dip the entire wrapped bolt in a thin layer in candle wax.
Slather a fair coat of jb weld onto the waxed bolt.
Drive it home
Leave it alone.
The wire will resize the bolt just enough and the copper will conform as needed.
The jb will make the internal stripped threads match the new oversize threads, permanently.
The wax will allow for later removal of the bolt if needed.
The waxed head will not bond to the case.
No shavings, no drilling, no depth problem .
IF you can get the stripped part on a work bench, helicoil it.
A couple of these wire fixes are pushing 40 years old here.
It works fine on small engine heads and does not pull loose.
