Default Damaged lifter cup threads :( Help me

Dam i was trying to torque down my lifter cup bolts to 8ftlbs all the other bolts torqued down fine except for one. It kept spining I took the bolt off and the threads was damage. How can i fix this? Can it be helicoiled? Has anyone done this before? Does anybody know the size helicoil kit?
