If that fails, put a helicoil in…when drilling for the helicoil, put the other bolts in their holes to help align the angle of your drill. The angle there is a little strange.
I have been through this. As a result, I tighten those bolts gently with one hand using a small 1/4 inch drive ratchet. Tight is right, any more and it’s broken…

It seems that I might just be able to find a suitable bolt from the store, I’ll go and look tomorrow. Otherwise Helicoil, Time-sert or similar it is then.
@Andrewwynn, I believe it’s number 7 from the picture.
