O2 sensor replacement

[Eric]

I tried to replace a bad O2 sensor on my 2000 RX300 but I stripped the
threads.
The sensor was located on the front exhaust manifold and it was very
difficult to remove, hence the stripped threads.
Is there an inexpensive fix short of replacing the exhaust manifold?

Thanks, Eric

Let us know how the heli-coil worked out.
