Stripped bolt on Engine block
While installing Betty's grounding kit I stripped the bolt on the driver side engine block. I can't beleive I did this since I threaded it by hand most of the way and never got to the point where I was tightening it hard, it just never tightened up. Taking it out, the threads were still on the bolt.
I remember working with a tool and die kit to fix this type of issue back in the day, basically creating new threads and using a larger bolt. I'm probably going to bring this in to have it fixed. I was just wondering if that's the solution or is there another way?

They say things happen for a reason... this little problem introduced me to a local Nissan/Infiniti specialty shop minutes from my house I knew nothing about. They fixed it with a longer bolt..for FREE.
Unfortunately no dyno but they will load ECU updates and are nissan/infiniti certified.
