Speedometer Retaining Threads Stipped 200

So the threads for the bolt that holds the speedometer cable into the trans is stripped on my M46. I was wondering if anyone had an thoughts on how to fix this?

One thought I had, and it may work depending on how the trans is designed, would be to simply drill it through and put a nut on the top and run the bolt through... would this work? I don't know if there are any internals on the other end of the retaining bolt or if that portion of the transmission exists only to retain that cable?

Thanks,
Phil
