Stripped threads on cylinder head for the rocker

Hi

I overtorqued a rocker bolt until the cylinder head threads came out. I've read that a heli-coil kit would be a cheaper alternative than replacing the head.

1st question: do you think it's a good idea? Is it going to hold under the constant movement of the push rods? Second, where would I buy a heli-coil kit. I don't think Canadian tire carries it...

Thank you
