Helicoils definitely work, but subjecting a camera to the vibration associated with a drill to drill the pilot hole and the clamping involved would scare me.

I posted a link to a video that shows how to make the repair using an E-Z Coil kit.
It does last almost seven minutes, a bit long

Might not be for everybody, but it's not a drill press.

Fill the hole with J-B Weld, then re-drill and re-tap the hole. Or put the bolt in with J-B Weld (a PERMANENT solution).

Has anyone ever had a problem with the threads on the inside of the tripod mount? My Tripod attached just fine to all of my cameras except one so I know it's the camera, not the tripod. I think the threads inside the camera mount may have become stripped. Has anyone ever had something like this repaired?
Be sure to take a look at the Loctite repair kit for stripped threads. No drilling involved...a permanent repair.

BINGO! I got the LIM'S Quick Release Camera Tripod Dovetail Plate for Nikon P1000 and problem solved (as long as the threads don't tear loose again. This piece solved the "too heavy up front" dilemma. Thank you!

Didn’t you initially state the tripod socket threads were compromised/stripped ? If that's the case I would not trust mounting Lim's quick release plate to camera without addressing problem with threaded socket in camera baseplate.
