the thread is broken but in the middle is already good

the bolt spins in place and i dont know what to do

I have a few ideas
A: Buy longer banjo bolt 10x1.25
B: Buy helicoil and repair the thread but I can not do it..
C: Buy long bolt 10x1.25 and screw it to head and buy Oil feed line from oil filter location and install it.
What should i do ?

I have had success using a heli-coil kit. If you have a drill, drill bit and the heli-coil kit then there is no reason why you can't do it yourself. You could also drill and tap the hole for a larger bolt. However, the first option is by far the easiest. I would crank the car for a few seconds to let the oil flow flush out any metal shavings from the hole.

Do not try and install a longer banjo. You will block the feed to the exhaust cam. Best option is helicoil. It’s not hard

I don't see why. You're drilling into an existing hole
