Stripped hole

While changing the hoses and thermostat I stripped one of the bolt holes(using a 1/4 ratchet, go figure) for the thermostat housing, I was wondering what or how to fix this. I don't think there is enough metal to insert a helicoil maybe tap to the next size...any ideas would be appreciated

I know nothing of your location you are working in, but perhaps I can be of assistance with THIS followed by THIS?

Also, you can possibly use a longer bolt and get to deeper threads, or you could possibly drill it deeper and tap it for the original threads?
