I did similar repair to a Amarok recently, which my mate had butchered the holes (all out of round) trying to drill out the Brocken 6mm bolts. After the Brocken bolts and a piece of Brocken tap were out, (suggested about then he sticks to concrete form work) filled the holes with jb weld flush then used caps to mark hole centres, drilled small piles holes to depth, then increased hole size gradually till it was suitable to tap 3/8 unc, used unc which has nice course thread for alloy.
then cut some old bolts to length, drilled 6mm holes down centre in the lathe, then some locktite, and wound then in flush and was good to go.
