If the threads on the stud are also gone, you can get a new stud from any auto part store." I had this problem on my Bug. I was able to buy replacement oil pan studs at my FLAPS that were 6mm on one half and 8 mm on the other half. Then I used a 8mm tap to thread out the stripped case studs. I invested in a metric tap and die set from Sears long ago. Its one of those things where once you have it, you wonder how you ever got along without it.
