2nd lifted head in a month? Bad thread???

Today while taking in parts my head on 1 of the studs broke free and stripped the threads in the block ( yes i couldnt believe it ) I had an issue getting the stud out at first and had to chase the threads, so I am guessing when they came out the threads were alittle messed up. What can i do now helicoil or time-insert any recommendetion car will made over 750 next time. I will appreciate your help guys

I would go to a larger diameter stud.

the head would need to be drilled as well. but that is easy part. tapping block in car will be a task.
