Yep, been there too. Usually an easy-out works if done carefully as mentioned in the other posts. You have to get that hole centered and deeper. Usually works. One more idea; drill the whole thing out bigger and put in a helicoil to replace the threads. One more idea; take off the boss completely and there are strap-on bosses made for bikes that don't have any type of stops--a yucky fix though. Riv used to sell them, you could give them a call.
