Mine did the same thing, was a real pain in the ass. When i ended up doing was getting a longer bolt then having a place drill out the center and putting the two holes in the side like the stock bolt.

Maybe that might work for you too if the threads aren't stripped all the way back and just at the front?

I believe its all the way..

If you retap it you'll still have to deal with shavings.

Chris, I was a n00b and did this too once before.

I helicoiled the head. I used grease on the drill bit, used grease on Q-tips to get them out, and cranked my engine over with the line disconnected to ensure all debris was out of the passage and would not have a free ride to my turbo.

Don't know what a Heli-Coil is? youtube, google

^ I youtubed how to do it last night. Would you mind assisting me today on this project?

I actually typed Helicoil last night when you posted this thread. but then got to thinking.Do they make helicoils in that size though? I would look into that before doing anything. The first time i did a helicoil i was amazed at how easy and great it worked, but i was using on a regular bolt, not a feed line.
Its going to have metal shavings no matter what you do, Pack the hole with paper towel prior to drilling then use needle nose after to get the towel out, should cut down on the shavings.
