Or try this:

1) Clean the remaining case thread well.

2) Clean the hollow/"banjo-bolt" well.

3) Lightly heat the bolt and apply a thin coating of paraffin (aka candle) wax to the threads.

4) Mix well some J-B Weld epoxy.

5) Apply the epoxy to the threads and insert into the case.

6) Once the epoxy cures you should be able to extract the bolt, and reassemble. The tricky bit is to only retighten the bolt to seal the hydraulic oil but not destroy the epoxy threads. I suggest using a fresh/new set of copper crush washers to maximize your chance of getting a good seal.
