use a tap & dye set to re-groove the thread into the head ( if your a bit shakey handed, get someone who knows what there doing to help) and use new bolts

If the threads are stripped a tap isn't going to do anything, would be like puitting a baldy three incher up a prostitute with her 25 year service badge.
Helicoil or similair is the only option.

I just hope you've got enough metal to play with, be careful and mind it's ally as well.
