I epoxied an appropriate brass fitting to mine when stripped. Worked fine.

Before you spend a lot of time on it, check to see if the bottom fits flat to the top and where it mounts to the intake is flat.

Re: tillotson carburetor stripped inlet
FWIW, I mis-read what was being repaired. I thought it was a manifold flange tapped hole. The gas inlet compression fitting may not have a helicoil available for the diameter and thread pitch.
