88 tpi 350 header leak

Ok so I found out that I got a good leak coming from the passenger side header. I notice that one of the bolt holes is kinda to big like crazy an the threads are totally stripped out previous owner must of cross threaded moron I'll get pics of it up tomorrow to show everyone. But in the mean time what can I do to finish the prep work before reinstalling it
