Blew up my 7 bolt. Nitrided crank or stroker kit?

My 7 bolt blew up on me about three weeks ago (I guess it couldn't handle the abuse of the 60-1) and I'm about to pull it out of the car and inspect the damage in the next week or so. I'm trying to evaluate what the best value rebuild procedure is. The engine is a rebuilt 7bolt that was in the car when I bought it. According to the paperwork the seller provided me the engine only had 5000 miles on it since the rebuild and was built with JE pistons and Crower rods. From the sound of the engine I'm sure that my bearings are toast, however, If it turns out that my rods and pistons are O.K. would I be better off to either; A: turn the crank and get new bearings,
B: Replace the crank or get it nitrided and try and find custom bearings to prevent CW,
C: scrap it and buy a 6 bolt, or D: Stroker kit?
 
Is a 2.4l stroker crank hardened or nitrided like a stock 6bolt? I would like to go with a stroker kit, but I would rather not have to rebuild it again in 6months or a year when it walks.
