Cure for stripped thread that doesn't cost limbs

So I screwed up when changing tranny fluid by cross-threading the 10mm-1 bolt that goes into the torque converter (1999 ML320). Or I guess you could say 'screwed sideways'.

Anyway, I am contemplating what can be done to repair this. The bolt is in good shape, the threads on the inside of the TQ are blown and some of them even came out.

I would consider a tap and die but for the shavings that could end up inside. J-B Weld or Pro-Poxy 20 are other options that have been recommended.

This car has 105 k miles and I have recently brought it back to life by doing various service items. It was running really nice and I'd like to keep it for a while. Someone who has seen this or similar before please let your voice be heard.
