help! stripped stem, can I save it?

Hi there,

I have a bontrager race stem (aluminum). While I was tightening the front bolts attaching the handlebars, I tightened to much and the bottom bolt popped out stripping the hole in the stem! is there a way to fix this, or do I have to buy a new stem? I really don't want to do that since I just bought this stem and would be out $60. If it makes a difference, there is still a bit of thread in the hole, i can screw the bolt in, but as soon as i tighten the top bolt the bottom bolt slides out again.

thanks for any help!
