fixing exhaust leak

My manifold bolts are stripped. I think I will try to fix the leak between the manifold and exhaust pipe with j.b. weld. It can withstand 500 degrees.

I tried to get new manifolds but they are not available. Anybody have similar situation?

Can you take the manifold off and use a helicoil to replace the threads.
