How can you strip out the cooling HEAD?
You may stripped out the engine block that goes on the bottom of the cooling head.

Find your part number [link=http://www.cenracing.com/engines/parts.jpg]here[/link], go down to your hobby store that carries Cen and order your part, on the other hand you could call a hobby shop from the net that carries Cen and order from them. Cough up the coin for air shipment and hope for the best.

Ummm....YEAH!!!
You either stripped the threads in your ENGINE when you installed the head, or you stripped the threads for some silly cap or extra fin ON/IN the cooling head.
So you're basically screwed if it's the engine (MAYBE you can re-tap it to a bigger screw size..MAYBE!!), or you can live with the insignificant problem with any fasteners on the head itself.
I'm guessing that you're talking bout stripping out the engine block, which kinda sucks, as you probby don't have time to select & break in a new motor so quickly.
Try to re-thread it w/ a bigger tap!!

oh!! big ouch!!
heres how you fix it, you drill it out a 1/4 inch bigger than it is, tap the hole with an apropriate size thread, take a piece of rod and thread it to the same thread size and then drill the center and tapit witha 1/4-20 thread size for the glow plug. then put it in with the glow plug. good luck

That's all??
I hope you're kidding, as this would be a HUGELY difficult task.
Where does one find a piece of high-quality aluminum bar stock...in EXACTLY the diameter needed for this job? How do you make it/mount it so it perfectly matches the thickness of the head. Are you suggesting you just grab a drill & drill a hole in this "repair plug" FREEHAND, or did you neglect to mention the use of a drill press/milling machine. How do you fasten you're perfectly bored/milled/threaded plug into the head.
While you're plan is theoretically possible, unless you have a machine shop, it's impossible, and if you do, the time & effort would be worth, oh... 100 times the $$ needed to buy a new cooling head.
This is a pretty hair-brained idea.
