Side Stand Thread Knackered

It looks like the thread for the side stand bolt is knackered. Problem is, it's part of the frame so I can't see how it could be fixed.

Any ideas what to do? Was thinking it could be drilled through and a nut put on the end of a longer bolt but I don't know if there's enought clearance for that.

Bloody annoying! I can't be the first to have that problem?

I know someone who has retapped his with a slightly bigger thread, another guy had his cut off and rewelded on a new one (which is what I think a lot of people have to do because they tend to snap the whole mount off).

Too late for you now but what I did when my bike was new is get a Pro Moto Billet side stand because it has 2 mounting locations: KTM Kickstands
