Here's another idea that I am playing with as a first step. Drill out the rest of the bolt using a bit sized for tapping the hole for the current standard sized bolt. Run the tap in for these bolts. Maybe I will get lucky and clean the hole up enough to use the permatex solution with the existing bolts. If not, I can always go with the next size larger bit or helicoil solution.

Opinions?
