So i just got a nice used oil pump off ebay and was gonna install it. Well i put it in and wanted to make sure the two bolts that that hold it into the crankcase were tight. I tightened the bottom one and then the top, i made sure the allen wrench i was using was in the bolt good, and all of a sudden it just loosened up, yep it was stripped. Son of a... i barely put any pressure on it. So now im wondering, what can i do now??
 

You could try to retap the threads the proper size first. Tap a little bigger size and get the proper bolt second. Or Heli-Coil it
