Loctite makes a $9 "Stripped Thread Repair" kit. Mix some goop, put it in there, coat the fitting with a release agent, thread it in, let set for 5-minutes, back out the fitting and let it all sit for a bit. Presto! New threads. The threads aren't 100% as strong as new metal and but will do in that situation. You wouldn't use it on a headbolt but one of the bolts holding the oil pump on my tbird is threaded into that stuff. I've used it on the bolt holding the king pin in a tractor also. Works pretty good.
I've used that same kit at least twice and there's plenty more left over.

I tried this on my partialy stripped crankshaft bolt hole. I don't know if it was an old kit, but the release agent did not release as claimed. I mixed the goop together, stuffed it in the hole, coated the crank bolt real well with the releasing agent, and screwed the bolt into the crank shaft. Waited five minutes and tried to back it out - guess what, it was stuck like chuck. I had to use a 4 foot cheater bar to get the bolt back out so I could clean the dried goop back out of the crank shaft hole. Should have put the heli-coil in the first place like I thought... Just my experience for what it is worth.

Good luck,
Dan
