Helicoil (Recoil) or get a stepped stud made and tap oversize. Suggest M7 x 1 for oversize as 6mm is tapping size for this M7.

stepped studs are available for just that...
at most VW advertised shops...
I have seen them when watching a friend doing an oil change..
I have never had any problems...
You need a T driver [1/4 inch] and socket...
then its hard to over tighten...
and always use a new gasket kit each oil change...

For reference, most trans nose cones on bug and bus use 7mm fasteners.
Handy to know if you ever need a nut, stud or bolt,(bolts from mid 1975).
Some type 4 engines used them to hold the clutch cover to the FW.
