Valve cover stripped threads

I'm currently repairing a botched timing chain job that some shop did (previous owner). In the process of putting everything back together I had some of the valve cover studs come out with the threads before I could get them to torque spec, which is almost nothing so that tells me these were probably over torqued before. Anyway it's at a bad angle which makes repairing hard. Can I pull the (cam shaft bearing?) - see photo I'm not sure what the part is called. Then maybe I could use helicoil to fix the threads? Or since the torque specs are so low would loctite thread repair be fine?
