Default Intake Manifold problem

was changing out throttle bodies and i put the new one on, then started hand tightening it, but the bottom two bolts wouldnt get tight. i then started to try remove them and now the two bottom bolts on the throttle body wont come out, they just keep spinning... i need help and badly, manifold is a skunk 2 manifold and an aebs throttle body. anyone else have this problem? i am thinking the threads on manifold have somehow stripped and now i am in real deep **** right now, and i dont know what to do. i dont have a spare gsr manifold, all i have is an ls and a b16 manifold, so i have no way to run the car and too top it off i really need emissions right now badly.

you may have to end up drilling them out, at which point you can either helicoil the threads or just drill and tap them a bit larger and get bigger bolts, if they are indeed stripped those are your only real options
