Default Repair of stripped headlight motor threads

Hello,

It looks like the three threaded nutholes (for the 10mm bolts) on my headlight motor are starting to strip out. They never really get tight when I install the motor.

Is there any simple/inexpensive way that the threadholes can be repaired? The motor is fine otherwise. I don't have a lot of experience in tapping/threading. After the repair is done, I would still like to be able to install/remove the motor in the future.

Thanks for everyone's feedback!

Maybe you could tap the holes one size larger, e.g. 11 mm, or a similar SAE size, and put corresponding bolts?
