this is common and I think there may be a replacement bolt with a different size thread,
some google might be a good idea, dorman 'help' products to start search.
A real part store ie NAPA their counter people are pretty good with this odd stuff, at least thats my experience.

When I see the price of OEM I think aftermarket.

Helicoil repairs are reasonably easy if you are handy with tools. The local auto parts store had a kit with all the necessary items.

I did a helicoil fix on my caliper about 3yrs ago. No problems to speak of. Being the first I'd ever done, I was impressed with how easy it was. Just keep the thread cutter STRAIGHT!!

I had a stripped caliper bolt on my 4-door for probably 5 years. I had loc-tited the second bolt in, and it disappeared at some point. I bought a caliper bolt kit and this off-brand helicoil set https://www.amazon.com/Tek-Motion-St...omotive&sr=1-8
Worked perfectly, I did both caliper bolts on that side, and I also used it for a stripped out core support hole on my 2-door. Couldn't ask for a better deal for the money, makes me wonder why I let it go for that long.

I used Mr. Blaine's kit to do all 4 holes and they've been fine. Just make sure you clean the new threads really good and let the loctite sit for a while before mounting the calipers back up.
