Question Valve cover oil leak...

I bought a used 350(college kid)
Anyway, after getting it rebuild I realized that the rear-passenger side bolt hole was stripped out. I bought a kit to re-thread it and it still leaks oil. It's not a huge problem but I have to check the oil regularly and top it off. Would it be advised to bore and ream a larger hole in the block, or should I just deal with the problem until I have the funds to buy a new engine?
