Need some ideas (4r100 problem)

First time in this trans.
Pulled pan found 2 bolts from accumulator on the magnet, put back in but holes are stripped spun with fingers .
going to pull valve body, accumulator, solenoid pack and separator plate to see what options I have.
Any experience successfully repairing threads in aluminum?

Get a Helicoil kit. They are inexpensive and very effective.
