Valve Cover Leak

Morning all. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving

Curious if anyone experienced a valve cover leak during to a bolt that’s not tightening (hole seems stripped).

I think I have this issue in the drivers side and, of course, at the rear corner bolt by the firewall. From what I am seeing online, a heli coil repair kit is what’s needed. Ha anyone done this? Is the rear corner hole easy to deal with for this repair?

I always seem to get repair issues when the cold weather hits. Never when it’s warm out lol. Appreciate any feedback. I suppose a stop leak won’t do anything in the meantime but worth asking.
 
I've used heli coils in other applications and they hold.
retapping is always better if possible.
If there are still threads, may be able to re-tap
