Stripped hole for tank emblem mount was created by jordan

Anyone got a fix for having one of the tank emblem mount holes being stripped? A larger screw wont really look right on the emblem, and im afraid some form of adhesive is now my only hope. Anyone had this issue? All 3 of the other holes are fine

Two solutions as I see it. #1 clean it out, flux it good and then braze the hole shut. Drill with a 2.5mm bit and tap with a M3x0.5mm tap. Or, #2 install a M3x0.5mm helicoil.

What's that sound? I hear the timesert brigade riding as we speak. :laugh:
