Regardless of how it happened:
They make helicoils for that. Tap the head, insert the helicoil, put plug back in. Maybe other brands to, I just talking the concept. You don't have to pull the head is my point. They have kits that include the taps, inserts, setting tool. I've done it on a Honda years ago when the threads came out with the plug.
Do not remove plugs from an aluminum head when it is hot. (not sure how to get a hot compression check, but that is a rule that I have lived by).
