Default so, part of a bolt's thread is stripped...

So, on the exhaust on my bike has it's 2 bolts, on the female side of the bolt ( barrel) one of the threads seems to be partly stripped.

I don't want to drill it out, as i've had bad experiences with that.

I'm thinking epoxy and aluminim dust to permanently fix the exhaust in place.

I keep having to take the exhaust off because gaskets are blowing a few times a week, it's starting to really annoying me.

I'm going to make an exhaust gasket from 1mm thick aluminum sheet and silicon gasket.
