If you put 300 ft lbs on those bolts, you'd strip it out for sure. The case is only aluminum.

If it's stripped out, see if you can buy an oversized plug. They're made slightly bigger, like by a hair, so that it cuts new threads without having to drill the hole out. Also, I know some people on here have run rubber freeze plugs as a temporary repair at least. On those, just find one that's slightly undersized so that when you tighten the nut on it, it tightens up really well.
