You do not need a time sert.  You do not need a helicoil.

You can go to a good auto store or machine shop and get the stud with the next size larger threads
on the end that goes into the head and the other end is still 6mm. Common
Just retap and use red Locktite. Time serts are used on bolts that are going to be taken in and out on a regular basis. Like spark plugs.

One more thing.. The size of tap and drill problem. When you buy the TAP many times the package tells you the drill size, and sometimes the tap and drill are sold together.
IF all of that fails just go to Google and type in "TAP drill chart".  LUCKY
