I doubt I would have made it far neither, lucky I do not drive it hard or I might not have been so lucky. We had just driven from Toronto Canada to Fort Myers Florida. Most likely not have made it back.

Those are not even the right fasteners.
The factory fastener is a flanged hex head.
Some of the "kits" ship with a plain hex head.
The plain hex head can chew into the aluminum.
But, I have never seen one with allen head bolts.
You can write off the original shop.
You can feel good about a helicoil repair. It is stronger
than the original thread, or even welding and retapping.
