Default os .18 cvr crankcase stripping head bolts

os .18 cvr crankcase is stripping my head bolts with little or no pressure applied when tightening them down. i looked at the threads on 2 of the holes on the crankcase and they looked stripped about an 1/8th'' down i was thinking of just re-threading them to 3mm and sticking some 3mm bolts. HELP

We're not sure what your question is. The holes for the cylinder head bolts would not strip on their own. They'd need to have bolts inserted incorrectly to cause damage. If you wish, you can try re-threading them to a larger size, but you are on your own at that point.
