Just so we can confirm what you're dealing with here, what were you left with when you removed the 'coil' from your bolt? If you can stretch it out and it breaks up, then it's a newly stripped thread. But if it's solid, like a coilbound spring, then it's a helicoil-type insert.

It's fixable either way, it's just one way is easier than the other!
