Default Stripped thread on motor mount holes / fixable?

Hi.

I have an OS . 25 FX motor mounted onto a Dave Brown glass filled mount.

I believe I've stripped two of the mounting holes. The right side screws go in nicely and tighten. The left side screws go in nicely, but don't tighten. I can get them snug, but they don't grip down tightly, just keep turning. I put some lock-tite on the screws last night, but I doubt that will hold forever.

Pretty sure they're stripped. Anyway to save these holes? I used a drill and a tap to make the holes and would prefer not having to make new holes or buy a new mount.
