IML: exhaust stud stripped



Hi All,
 Happy 4th Holiday!

Does anybody have some advice on what appears to be a stripped out 
exhaust stud hole?
I replaced my manifold gaskets last weekend and encountered one stud that was stripped.   I replaced it with one from an Autozone 'Help'
kit,  but there doesn't seem to be any meat in the head to tighten it into. 
   I'm finding a some coolant on the bolt under there.
I picked up a heli coil repair kit and was going to tackle this tomorrow   (patriotic,  working on my big American car on the 4th of July!)  
  Is there anything I should be aware of in this task?
any sealers recommended?

Thanks in advance for any guidance

Best to All
