Camshaft sproket bolts stripped

Hello,
Today I was working on re sealing the upper timing cover when I discovered that all 3 sprocket bolts were stripped and just hanging.
How would you go about fixing this?
Replace the camshaft, try to tap and use inserts?
Does the sprocket holder comes apart from the front of the camshaft?
It look like the bolts used were of a smaller size than the correct ones, they were all the way in, the car was running fine, and it looks like it was for a long time.
Thanks for your time, help and advice
Ed.
