stripped screw
so i just went to put my center caps on my rims (enkei solars) and one of them was hard to turn so i backed it out to see if it would go in easier and it wouldnt and then i looked into it and the threads in the actual rim to screw into seem stripped, can i smooth that out and rethread it with a slightly wider whole? i believe there aluminum

you might be able to just pull out any loose threads and run a tap through it, and not redrill. you could add some teflon tape on the screw to tighten it up, or fill the cavity with rtv as a glue. i'd try this first.
you could also fill with jbweld and retap.
if that doesn't work, then yes, you cad drill out to the next size and retap for bigger screw or an insert. if the alum is pretty soft, you might just use a little bigger screw and let it cut its own threads.
