Helicoil or something similar. DO NOT JUST RAM A BIGGER BOLT INTO THE HOLE. Their are ways to fix a stripped hole. It you do it right it will be just as strong as the original

theres a company that makes a kit specifically for doing this, but i forget who it is, it is the exact pitch of the honda head bolts and has the tool long enough to put the coils in
