Default Stripped an accessory bolt hole on front of head

I accidentally ruined the threads in one of the holes in the front of the head when torquing down the accessory bracket. Is there enough material in the head for me to drill it out for a helicoil? It's M10x1.5, correct? Thanks. I did try to search first. I didn't find anything, but I'm sure this has happened to many people.

Can anyone confirm if the various holes in the front of the heads are m10x.1.5?

Take an accessory bolt to Lowes and try screwing it into the test nuts they have on the wall until it fits...?
