Default Stripped header thread

So like a dumb *** i stripped the first couple of threads on the head for the header. What are my options here? will leaving one bolt out make that much of a difference? thanks

you might just warp your header flange and have if you're lucky.

First I would try to get a tap and clean the hole. You might be able to repair what little damage you may have done.

I had to pull head and helicoil a rocker hole. So I also helicoiled one of the header bolt holes that had been giving me trouble.
