Default Thermostat broken bolt

Hey everyone,
I've got a 01 Durango 5.9L and I've managed to crack the bolt off of the thermo housing. Problem being when I drilled it out I went to far .... Now I have a nice size hole to were the coolant would be.

Any suggestions would be very appreciated at this point I'm at a stand still.
