[Vwdiesel] Changed over to the rubber valve cover gasket with grommits last night in the 1.9NA motor in my Westy.

It has been quite here.

I removed the 8 m10 studs and found an extra set of oil pan bolts.  I had to cut them down some as they were to long but that was easy.
I had a question about one of my 8 stud holes, it stripped out or is very soft.

What is the best way to fix this if it does not have enough of a bit to keep it from leaking.  It is gripping some right now but I can not get the 7ft lbs torque that I normally tighten them down to.
JB Weld the hold up and re-drill and tap it.  It is on the back #4 cyl. end on the manifolds side.  I have some room to work, but not sure if I have enough room to get a drill in there as the westfalia rear cabinet is in the way.
