Default Targa Thread Insert

Hello everyone. I have a C4 Corvette (85) with an acrylic roof and one of the front thread inserts has become very worn and will no longer grab the torx bolt. I am pretty sure the problem is the insert and not the bolt itself. Is there any way the inserts can be replaced without replacing the top? Top is in excellent shape otherwise. Thanks.

If the threads are boogered up, a heli-coil will fix it.
