go to the auto parts store and get a helicoil kit for the original bolt... drill the hole out the size that the helicoil insert instructs you to drill... mix a tiny amount of jbweld and put it into foy drilled and cleaned hole... insert the helicoil insert and let the jbweld cure... then thread the stock bolt back into place...

should work fine on a valve cover bolt...
