Icon6 2000 Si valve cover problem

i got a bolt that just keep spinning. its the one next to the oil cap not the one next to the oil cap and spark cap. so i tried to tighten it because it was loose and it just keeps spinning so the only thing that came to mind is the bold broke in half in the inside due to over tightening or i striped the threads and doesn't want to come out, tap and die set it? any suggestion on what i should do? it's not giving me any problem but i rather get it fixed before it gives me problems later...thanks

Your best bet if its stuck in the head to go to a shop have them weld on top of the bolt which will heat it up expanding the head to turn the old bolt out. Then i would run a tap and tie through it to re group your threads!
