Default Stripped thread inside frame, now what?

I overtorqued 2 of the 4 bolts that hold the brackets for the driver's door and or on the side pillar right between fender & door. My door is fine and it closes fine, doesn't hang, however is there anything i can do. Looks like there is no way of me to get at the back of it, so maybe weld?

Try to use a tap. If not, either go larger with the hole, or try a helicoil.
