Default Messed up flywheel, any ideas?

So, I've been trying to convert my 79 stang into a manual for 8 months now. I got all the parts in the summer but couldnt do it because the "sellar" never mentioned that 2nd gear is shot. Then I went back to school where I couldnt do it. I got home for spring break and dropped the C4 and started bolting things up. Thats when I realized that 2/6 of the taps in the flywheel were completley stripped. I guess the "sellar" didnt realize that you only need to torque them down to less than 30 ftlbs.

Do you think I can drill out the holes another 16th bigger and put threads in em to save this $240 billet flywheel? Or did he sell me a worthless piece garbage & should I just go and throw it through his front window?
