[SEL] Stripped stud

[Roger DiRuscio]

My experience is JB weld has never worked at holding anything, it has only 
be good as a sealer or filler. I think your just making a mess than you will 
have to remove later.
My vote is for the heli coil, I have used 100's with great results.
Your mileage may vary.
