Classic Error : Stripped Left Hand Threads

I have had the Giant Boulder for eight years. The hard plastic, covering the pedals was splitting. I picked up a new set of pedals and began to take off the old. The fact that the left pedal used left hand threads completely went out of my 70 year old mind. Commonly called a "senior moment". Using a force arm on the wrench, I turned the bolt on the pedal the wrong way, thus stripping the treads in the alumium crank arm. I am going to get the pedal unscrewed and try to epoxy the new pedal in place, as the damage is already done. Or : Suggestions?
Best,
Steven in DeLand
