If you pulled the threads out of the block you will need to disassemble it down to the deck. You can helicoil it ar drill it to the next size if you drill it to the next biggest size you will need to drill the head also. I believe I would try the helicoil first, I always run a tap through all of the head bolt holes before assembly and use thread sealer. At least it wasnt a main stud........
