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.
