That's not the block, but yes aluminum can be pretty soft.

If the threads in the block are stripped you may have to get it helicoated. I had my threads on my LS/Vtec strip and my motor dropped on one side. It cost me about 100.00 for them to do the process. Basically they just rethread the block and put a larger size bolt in it. Good luck
