Convertible Top Latch Screws

98 Boxster-While replacing my top microswitch (windows would recess after hitting a hard road bump) I found that one of the 2 screws that hold the panel up is stripped out. I looked at the barrel nut sleeve that the screw goes into the metal frame of the vehicle and it is half gone. Someone must have over torxed the screw thinking that may fix the latch! I am thinking helicoil is my only option since it is the frame? Any ideas would be appreciated!
