Or is just putting a helicoil in the tank mount just as easy?
Al, it takes a few more steps but it will be a permanent solution. You drill out the offending threads, tap for the helicoil and insert the coil which gives you new threads that will outlast the original, maybe even the bike 
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
