hey everyone well i was changing some gaskets on my turbo and i went to re-install my turbo and did everything right but i fuckeed upppp

the last thing left to do was to bolt in the oil hard line from the turbo into the block and i bolted it in slightly sideways.... turned on the car oil sprayed out so i lift it back up and checked it out.... unscrewed the bolt then tried to screw it in straight and the bolt juss slipped in

i cross threaded it... so now my block is stripped...

should i use a re-threadding kit? which i already have bought it at carquest or should i just make it bigger by using a bolt from the coolant line of the turbo it'll work we were checkking it out...

any suggestions or ways to fix this problem will be much appreciated thanks...
