Indeed, the torque spec is 18lb. ft. or something similar. Not very much torque at all!! You should definitely drill it and heli-coil it if you want a permanent repair.

M8 x 1.25 is the thread pitch for the helicoil kit. I have one for those exact bolt holes. Sometimes they strip even at the correct torque spec.
Edit: Glad to see you already fixed it.
