Bake or Boil block for rebuild?

Never had one baked and blasted but after they destroyed one of my nephews best FE blocks I don't think I want it done to any of mine.
Apparently they didn't get all of the steel short cleaned out and in the process of installing or removing the main caps with a 1/2 impact gun they stripped all of the threads out of one of the mains in the block, no enough meat left to heli-coil or insert for his use.
Wasted a 390 block with 66-427 C scratch markings, had the good CJ style main webs.
He's looking back through his collection of blocks for a suitable one for his planed stroker build.
