You dont even have to helicoil it man. Same thing happened to me and all i did was retap the threads and replaced the banjo bolt with an AN fitting. I used a lot of grease on the tap to catch the shavings and only did like two turns then backed the tap out, cleaned the grease off and put more grease on. Repeated that process.
