Default Alum. Oil Pan Repair

Has anyone ever had success repairing an aluminum oil pan with a stripped mounting hole. I'm thinking helicoil method, but there doen't seem to be enough meat to be able to drill larger hole. I'm thinking JB Weld, redrill & tap... I'm thinking weld some aluminum in the hole, redrill, tap... also some other product my brother saw on some info.-like commercial, liquid metal (not sure of what it is...). Last resort, I'm thinking, anyone have a cast oil pan for a k341aqs for my 1650? Love to hear if anyone has had a successful method they could share. Thx!
