big big BIG problem...HELP

here it is. the oil return line on my sr20det is spilling oil like crazy. the bolt has striped the block. anyone know what i can do besides replace the block? i have been calling around like crazy and no one is willing to re thread it for me. is there anything i can do to fix it. as of right now if i have to get a new block then i might as well seal it off for good in the mean time. any suggestions. thanks.

re tap it and get a bigger banjo fitting or new ss lines. don't know if one of those re threader kits would deal under that kind of pressure, but they basically thread onto the banjo bolt and put thread lock on the outside of the threads and screw it in and let it dry and you should be able to unscrew just the banjo bolt leaving clean new threads, usually at hardware stores but i have noticed they don't have much for metric beside standard hex head bolts.
good luck i've learned the torque for everthing on the sr is snug plus one

Did you over torque the bolt or something?
