Default A/C compressor threads ruined! What do I do?

So I went to refill my A/C for the first time since my swap. It was leaking so I took the refigerant line off and of course one of the o rings was busted. I switched it out went to retorque and the bolt just kept spinning. Took it out and all the threads were rusted onto the bolt! I know I can tap and die that shit but a bigger bolt won't work with the refigerant line, I might be able to sneak a 3/8" in. I'm about to JB weld it but that will be a bitch if I ever need to drop the engine again. Anyone have any other ideas?
