Default Ek trans mount frame bolts stripped. Need advice

Long story short the lower trans mount bolt striped and that caused the other two nuts to bend/move.

What i did was install a longer bolt and bend the top and middle bolt back straight but now im worried that the weld for the nut is broken and will only get worse from here.

There is no way for me to see whats going on back there to be sure if the weld is broken or not but judging by how much it moved i am assuming it did.

My concern from here is now if i launch the car hard again if this weld is going to break and ruin the entire frame of the car.

I seen some pics online of cutting the top of the frame and fixing this but not a very clear answer.

Heres a pic. I am talking about the threads in the frame

I had something similar happened to my driver side lower torque mount. the nut stripped on the inside and spun. I cut a small access hole in the front of that frame rail and had someone weld it in place.
it was the only option I could think of at the moment. A heavy duty timesert could also be an option. will try and post a pic next time I have my front bumper cover off if you think it will help.

I ended up tapping the hole a bit bigger but standard thread. I think 5/8x20 i forgot the exact pitch
