HI there,

there is a repair for this but you do need to drill out the old thread and re tap and insert a re coil thread, this will allow metal into the engine , and this is not recommended at all, just re cutting the old thread may result in a plug coming out while driving and doing more damage, i recommend removal of the head to repair this correctly.
