yeah a tap allows you to rethread bolt holes and such, a die allows you to rethread stripped bolts, and i would suggest new bolts because they probably wont fit right or they might strip again.

Don't do that.

Witch bolts are sripped?

The good way to do it is with helicoil. That way you don't have a ghetto repair.
