I'm feel'n your pain 
More times than I care to remember I've run into a similar situation.
Since we've drilled already; might be able to go with an 8mm to 6mm threaded bushing.
Some other options in order of preference (IMHO)
- Time Sert. Not cheap, slick solution
- Heli-coil. A little cheaper, not as HD as the Time Sert
- Last resort, drill and weld in bushing, primer & paint.
Good luck.
