i had that exact same problem.. really sucks.. what you can do is get an oversized bolt.. rethread the hole to fit the new bolt.. another way is to use helicoils.. my way, i stripped it baddd even with the new bolt... so i just bought an aluminum plug threaded it to that size, plugged it up... and re-routed the oil with a ss line from my oil pressure to the turbo.. works fine for me..

I had the same problem, I just took it to a machine shop and had a helicoil weld on. The good thing about a helicoil is that you are able to us the same size banjo bolt at the end. It only coast me $45 to get it done.

Ill probably just drill it and put a helicoil in there. That seem slike the best option right now.

If you didnt do it too bad, like maybe just a few threads, then you can get a tap and clean out the threads. I did this on my sr when installing new ss oil and water lines. Took me maybe an hour of swithcing back and forth between the banjo bolt and the tap. Works great and cost me nothing.
