Assuming you forced the tensioner in the bore in an angle and you just broke the first thread you can easily fix it with a tap, it will remove aluminum only from the beginning of the bore since the rest is fine. You can measure the pitch size with a simple caliper by measuring multiple threads at once then by calculating the width of a single thread. Taps like this can be easily found on ebay or amazon, in the $50-ish range. If you damage multiple threads, before you do the tapping, make sure you put a rag in the bore and/or a hose connected to a vacuum cleaner from the other side if possible to prevent aluminum chips getting into the engine.
