Are the threads in the block stripped or just the studs?

That is much more difficult. You can try something like heli-coil, but I would recommend having a machine shop provide advice. The block may be ruined.

Time serts are the way to go on head stud/bolt threads. But it will be expensive, depending how many thread holes are stripped, it may be cheaper to just replace the block

OP, you sure the mechanic installed the wrong head steads, or did he overtorque the stud itself, rather than torquing the nuts?
