I don't think a prayer is going to work in my case unfortunately. All the threads came out with the screw. I wonder if you have to make the hole in the bowl bigger to accept the 8-36 screw?
It's just barely larger, so you can opt for the helicoil later. I don't recall having to drill out the bowl hole, I think it just barely slipped in there.
Let the screw cut its own threads, use a litle pressure to ensure it goes in, and if you slowly reverse the screw before starting, you can feel the screw drop into engagement with what remains of the old threads, then you start it in.
Careful, this is really a band-aid...
