Maybe part of the issue is how I interpreted Wayne's book "Use the factory 13mm nuts on the studs... [that] are egg-shaped locknuts that resist vibration." I used prevailing torque nuts here. I put one on and torqued it originally without issues. Then took it off to redo a chain route. Then I put a fresh one on. I did not pass the torque spec, however, it stripped before I hit the torque. So maybe I'm not to blame?

All of the things that I can think of end up with the likely use of a welder to extend the stud so it can be worked out.
The working out portion may involve making a little puller tool.
Once the stud is out, the messed up threads /hole will end up with an insert.
I had a 2.7 mag case with basically every threaded hole fitted with an insert. It just got to the point where it made sense to do that ahead of assembly so I didn’t have the stress of worrying about a fastener making it to torque.
I’m curious what gets suggested and how you eventually solve this problem.

I'm not surprised it happened at some point in this rebuild. At least it wasn't a base case closure location. I'll dive in tomorrow morning. I sense another PP order...
