Oil sump bolt theead

one of the thread hole in the oil sump screwd up.. need to rethread it with thread drill

What is the drill that I need? Do you suggest to try tight it with the bolt or rethread it? I think that it can be left with no bolt .. there are more than 18.. but I prefer to keep it in original condition
 
I'm not sure what hole you are referring to. Is this in the upper aluminum oil pan? Which bolt? Photos?
 
Bottom oil sump
That should be easy access. Time-Sert or Heli-coil, if you can't chase the threads adequately. If the bolt can't be torqued to spec, you're asking for an oil leak...
