stripped threads

I was putting my carb on , and while I was tightening one of the back bolts , the bolt slipped . When I took it out ,the threads were on the bolt. Now it will not tighten all of the way
How can I fix this?

Thanks

My friend had a proformer rpm intake he got from a swap meet and was pissed after he realized it had 2 stripped holes and he was gonna throw it out so i took it off his hands.. 2 heli coils later n its on my maro.. nice intake for the 4.95 the coil kit costed

Thanks for the help .
Yeah I guess thats what they mean by "it pays to know what you are doing". I know you cant wait for the next swap meet.
I got me a pack today, probably get it done sometime soon.
