Default Rethread the Fuel Pump Bolts?

I finally resolved my fuel pump issues, not sure if it was the first Racetronics Pump (Second Racetronics is working fine) or the worm clamp they use (I used two high pressure fuel clamps on it the second install). I seemed to have stripped out one of the threads, and have a pretty good gas leak at the pump plate.

The options I guess are a new fuel cell (worst case) or maybe try and rethread (say 1/4" 20) the tank threads?

Has anyone worked around this issue?
