That is not easy to do and if you have cut the threads clean off, then there is nothing you can do. You can't widen out the hole and retap it since plugs aren't any wider. If you're lucky, you just broke a thread and you might be able to retap it. Amke sure you get EVERY METAL SHAVINGS OUT OF THE HEAD!!!
