o2 housing to downpipe bolt question

I stripped both of my bolts that goes on downpipe(with spring)
I'm going to order new bolts from here and I was wondering if theres any way to screw in bolts easier.
I tried to fit in almost 3 hours. Took off plastic trays, downpipe, etc. It just wont fit back in. I'm hoping I didnt strip the o2 housing so i can fit the new bolts back in.
If I did strip the o2 housing, is it possible to put the bolt back in easy?

I saw DIY on this but dont know what I was reading.
If i cant screw in, I think I'm going to take it to near mufflershop to fit it in.

thank you

just get a re-threader kit and it will fix the threads. One of my bolts was stuck on and wouldn't even come off with an impact gun.

inspect the threads on the bolts to see if they are warped/warn. You could go with a rethreading tool if its your o2 housing threads, but I would just replace the o2 housing. I hear the ebay ones are really good and cheap.
