Although it's hard to tell from the photo, a dead ended Timesert type thread repair would likely do it.
A full grind/weld repair....would be a LOT of work.
I agree it needs a correctly engineered repair.
But using a product or at least speaking to the companies that make them for advice may allow the permanent repair to be scheduled until the UK is open or the car unused during the winter months.
Belzona would be who I would speak too knowing they specialise in emergency repairs in petro chemical manufacturing. ( not going to Halfords and guessing what may work)
I’m not convinced a timesert would seal but I have no experience of them in a similar application but again it would be worth a try if could be done in situation to delay the permanent repair.
All immaterial as I think the OP is going for a permanent repair now.
