Your advice will be appreciated.

Yes it will have to be embedded more inside or maybe get someone to weld on that piece(aluminium) and insert coil.

Or put a timesert/ threaded insert. That will work just make sure the insert is deep enough.

Those bolts are torqued down with massive amounts of torque, so a helicoil will strip very easily, so don't even go that route.

First stage torque - 3Nm
Second stage - 90 degrees
Third stage - 180 degrees

A Timesert thread repair will work, read about it being done on a few motors and no issues.
