Anything to gain access will help. When I did my plugs, I think I had to unplug several injectors and I had all the coils on the bank I was working on out. I didn't have to pull the fuel rail or plenum, but I didn't have to repair any threads either.

I've used Helicoils in the past. They are like a spring you put in the hole and screw the plug back in.
Some ppl swear by them, others cuss 'em.
