stripped hole in trailing arm

As I was putting my nicely overhauled rear brake assembly back on the
car, I noticed that one of the six studs that attach to the trailing arm
around the hub was looser than it should have been. Closer inspection
showed that the hole has been stripped out of the aluminum. What's my
best bet here? Is there such thing as a stud larger on one end than the
other? I figured I could drill out and re-tap the aluminum, but I'd like
to leave the back plate and hub assembly the original 5/16. Possible?
Thanks all,
