if it is not wollowed out to bad you could put a helicoil in it or a metal insert(i have heard them called kingserts). they are most commonly used for spark plug holes.

the engine plate should keep the starter from moving. unless you can't tightin the starter

you can get them at most part stores. tell them you want a steel insert to go in the hole. they are mostly used for stripped spark plug holes.

Like grabbinandstabbin said, you can get them at most autoparts stores. I have used them for bell housings on both the starter bolt holes and the transmission mounting holes. The only problem is the kits (that usually have enough to repair 8+ holes) cost a lot ($25-$30 IIRC) -- that's a lot of money if you're only repairing one hole.
