You can partially weld it up then drill and re-tap with an NPT tap. Or just try and use the next largest NPT thread tap and do something unique with the hose fitting.

some years ago i used a epoxy type repair where you put it on the threads screwed it in then unscrewed the fitting and waited for it to setup,i used it on a stripped ford brake caliper,i cant remember the exact name ,but it was something like thread renew,etc,etc it worked great seems like you had to put something on the good threads first so they would release after it was screwed it before it cured,its been a few yrs back ,my memory is pretty spotty in my old age
my ladder of success is missing some rungs

what about JB welding it in there permanently? I've JB welded fittings into the cooling system for cooling routing mods & No issues.
