Heli coil it may be?
Or if it’s into Ali?
Just cut /tap the next size up ?
Or find an old tapered plug from an earlier TR

Find the thread and diameter of the plug, buy a tap in that size and thread and try to chase the threads BEFORE you do anything else. And put a ton of grease on the tap to catch as many aluminum crumbs as possible.
