you should be able to re tap threads into it with the right tool.

They are not available from ford. If you have right tools you can make them.

Sure some one on here can make a set.

I made exactly the same mistake the first time i took my bumper off, i re-tapped the holes and bought some bolts the same length and thread then ground the threads off about half the bolt and put a point on the end so they are easyer to get back in.
