Went ahead and helicoiled it for the original size threads, with what was left of the old bolt still stuck in there! I did some measurements, and it's not possible that the old bolt is protruding past the case, but to be safe I dropped a big dollop of JB Weld behind the helicoil to permanently fix the old bolt in place and anchor the helicoil (due to there not being any fixed stop behind it).
