re-tap it...

about 8 out of 10 times you can heli-coil (tap) a stripped hole. have someone that knows how to do it perform it for you...unless you know how to im not trying to be a dick im trying to save you some time/money. .
good luck bro.

Re-tap it next size up thats about all you can do or take it to the shop but mechanics are theives. If you do it yourself do it really slowly and oil the tap screw every few seconds and remove as you thread slowly making sure you take out the metal bits. Good luck

if i tap it to the next size up where can i get a banjo bolt that will fit in the line and supply the right ammount of oil?

You're better off getting it helicoiled since the next biggest size most likely will be similar to the huge banjo bolts on the turbo. These are not common bolts and it'll be difficult to find the next thread size up.

I suggest you pull the head and have it professionally heli-coiled. If you screw it up, you'll be shelling out money for a replacement head.

I say heli-coil it and it will stronger then before.
