Other than drilling oversize and tapping new threads...
Or drilling out and putting in inserts...
I have a 262xp with stripped top cover threads.
All have been tapped one size larger in the past and the idiot before me has still managed to strip them, I mean it is just a plastic cover being torqued down..
Not enough material to use an insert, is there some miracle epoxy that would stand up to me taking the cover on and off. Just want to restore this saw to a usable condition, everything else seems in good condition i.e seals, bearings, crank so I am loathed to strip the and replace the case if there is a good substitute.
