Pretty sure Helicoil is a brand name so may be the same? The better system for the job is a time-sert if you can get one, they're a solid sleeve that deforms as it's fitted which stops them backing out with the bolt next time you remove it.
Otherwise is there enough thread to pack it out with PTFE tape for a seal? If not then Araldite/Devcon/JB Weld...

Stripped thread in my oil tank. Cock.
Trying to find somewhere in Italy to helicoil it isn't easy, given I speak no Italian. Was looking forward to hitting some Alpine pass.
Anyone know how to say helicoil in Italian! Ha
