[Healeys] 3BA stripped threads Help?

[Alan Seigrist]

All -

On my Atlantic, the quarter light (vent window) latch is secured to the
frame with a special head 3BA screw.

The threads in the frame are stripped so the screw won't seat.

Anyone have any idea where I can get a 3BA helicoil kit?  or is there
another solution that might work?  The screw is very special, so I can't
really put another screw in there.  Is there a way I can use JB weld or some
other type of adhesive that repairs threads?

I do have a 3BA tap, but the hole is so shallow I don't think a tap will be
much help.
