Default o2 sensor problem

Hey, I was switching out my o2 sensors today, and had a hell of a time removing one. took me close to an hour to remove. Turns out, when i removed it, i noticed the threads on the old o2 were cross threaded and now i can not put the new sensor in. Any fix ideas?

Helicoil makes a special O2 sensor Helicoil kit. I had the same thing happen to me and it worked really well.
