Longer bolt, same diameter should do it. Happened to me, took the pipe off and used the original bolt to see how much thread/depth was left beyond the stripped portion. There was enough, so didn't have to tap. Refitted the pipe using next length size up bolt (5mm longer? can't remember). Worked fine.
