Default Stripped tensioner bolt. Help!!

My friend somehow managed to strip the threads where the belt tensioner bolt goes. What would be the best way to go about fixing this? Or is it even possible?

Helicoil or a timesert. Timeserts are what Honda provides for us to repair threads. Honda even goes so far as to trust timeserts to be used to repair a stripped out headstud hole in the block. Timeserts are pretty cool though, more of solid piece that's threaded in rather than a helicoil which just rides on the old threads.

How do you put a thread insert in for a head bolt hole in the block? I've got a B20 block that I just stripped out the middle two holes in.

This is what you'd need, Honda provides these kits to repair the holes.
