That is good info....I'm going shopping in case I ever need it.
Maybe a longer screw with a nut inside the lower. Makes it full auto too?

If you went in sideways and stripped it I'd chase a regular 1/4-28 tap from the top down (start inside the lower) to straighten the threads. Then use the next longer bolt so it will grab good threads deeper in the bore. As long as it isn't shouldered you won't have problems.

You need to try and straighten out the messed up threads. Don't drill it oversize ilunless you are installing a helicoil. Those are the only good options.
If he's going to an insert, a Time-Sert is far superior to a Heli-coil.
