You can get it filled with alloy weld and then re-drilled and re-tapped with a thread however, it may not go as tight as you need to hold the seat post in place  :-\.


Better to crash and burn than fade away

you could do it with a heli-coil (thread repairer), otherwise the bolt will pull out as said above when ya tighten it.....
