stripped out exhaust manifold stud

OK so I stripped out the head where one of my exhaust studs bolts in. I just wanted to get some ideas on ways to fix it. I know the proper way to do it I suppose but I am lacking tapping tools, inserts, etc. Anyone got a cheap fix.
It's the centermost stud. dead center.
