If there is enough room you should be able to put a die nut on it and chase the threads right in place. If you are lucky some mechanic friend might have one and you won't have to buy a complete set. They are made to work with a regular socket and work great for what you are trying to do. I just googled die nut, it gives a pretty good description of it so you will know what to look for. Dave
