Thanks to all for the advice on repairing the damaged thread in the insert
piece.  The insert came out easily and a machinist at work put a "Keen
Sert"(spelling?) thread repair in place. Its stronger than the original
threads or a helicoil, and lets me stay with the original size bolt. 
 
Cheers,
Curt
