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

Go ahead and be cheap, and see if you don't pay for it in the long run.
