Piece of junk

Well after 3 weeks of messing with this helicoil garbage for my stripped out oil pan bolt, I got the helicoil to thread in some and when you put a bolt in it, it just spins with the bolt so not only is the helicoil stuck in there, but it helped none and made things worse. So now I am giving up and just sending the car to a shop to fix it so now the shop has to tow it and they have to fix it. Do you think $600 would be enough for them to fix this and reasemble it?

Is this a damaged hole for the oil pan mounting (on the rail of the block) or a damaged drain plug hole?
