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.

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.
