Default Stipped fuel rail thread!!

One of the three threaded holes for holding down my fuel rail is stripped, so there are only two bolts tighted down, holding on the fuel rail. I've had no leaks so far, and was wondering if it will be ok like this.
I just got this itr manifold installed and don't want to have to remove it to rethread the hole or replace the whole manifold. This ever happen to anyone?...please help!!!

I removed the studds and spacers so the injectors would sit right and used bolts to hold down the fuel rail. Its a 1st gen b16 w/ itr i/m and GS-R fuel rail. Its the actually threads the stud would screw into on the i/m that are stripped. Can i re-thread it??

PIck up a tap set, toss some oil in the whole, tap it, and pickup a bolt to fit it.
