Couldn't you just drill out the sidestand mounting plate and use bolts that
match the timesert thread if this happened?

I don't think this is a critical as you say, for this application. There is
nothing that the timesert references external to the hole, so the hole can be
off by a bit.

I'd be worried about the bushing either coming loose from drilling, or not
coming off at all, etc. Have you glued steel to aluminum before?
How about using the sidestand itself as a drill guide?
