So you stripped the treads out of one of the two bolts which attach the thermostst housing to the intake? You will need to put "heli-coils" in the threads on the intake. That requires drilling, tapping and inserting the thread coil. Your bolt was probubly a tad short to do that (pull the threads out) as well. Nothing will need to be replaced, just add a heli-coil.
