Stripped thread on skidplate bolt

Was putting on factory skidplate this weekend after doing some maintenance, and wouldn't you know it. The front left bolt stripped. The nut looks like it's welded to inside of the frame, so no way to reach it.

Tap it to bigger diameter, or tap and helicoil?

Also considered welding a piece, as there is another bold a few inches away that holds onto another piece. But I'm not a welder.
