Helicoil is the easiest fix, or tapping out to 7mm.
I prefer to helicoil though.

the original thread is m6 - I`d helicoil - you can buy a kit for less than a £10 (its a common size so wont come in wrong)
nowt wrong with helicoils in the right situation and done correctly
this is ideal with minimal work and cheap materials
when finished don't over tighten the bolts or you could put studs in and use nuts
good luck
