How to repair stripped stud threads?

Tightening up nut for a master cylinder on a brake booster, and all of a sudden the nut was loose again.
Took it all apart and noticed the studs on the brake booster are chewed up.
I was thinking about filing down the remaining threads and tapping the stud to the next size down.
Then I read about loctite 660.
Looks like this might work if I apply, let dry, then thread?
Anybody use this stuff? Or something similar?
