JB,
Great that the motor turns freely! Hopefully no cylinder wall scoring or ring damage. But likely it'll be just fine, especially since you saw no metal in the oil.
While it might be tempting to just retap the threads for a larger bolt, I think that if you're correct about the galling, then I'd opt for the Helicoil or Time-sert. Those are permanent solutions and you'll never run into the galling issue again.
