Default Stripped bolt hole

On the drivers side very bottom hole where the bellhousing attatches to the engine I have a bolt hole that is stripped.. it is the one right behind the oil filter. What is the easiest way of fixing it, if there is any? I have running the car with 6 bolts holding my trans to the engine!

On a side note.. I didn't strip it out..

helicoil or you could just ignore it. some people leave the top bolt of the tranny out and have been fine. just put all but the one stripped one in.

It will hold with that one missing but as noted a heli coil or tapping to a larger size are your only options if you want to fix it.
