Run the tap(s) (the pointed first then the flat bottom ones) in and out of the dizzy hole a few times and use the longest bolt that penetrates as far down as possible. Most stripped holes have good threads at the bottom and are messed up at the top section.
Yes, there are self tapping screws available. Talk to the automotive machine shop guys in your area they should be able to reference what you need relative to the hole size and the metric threads. Be sure it's an automotive shop tho.
Alternative? install a threaded rod permanently and then just put a nut on the top?
