    TV mounting holes stripped

    So I went to mount my new samsung 50'' plasma today and started putting in screws to the brackets onto the TV. Well one of the 4 holes on the back of the TV has its threads stripped and now 1 screw won't go in. Is there a way to fix this? I've heard of self tapping screws that I could use but I couldn't find any M8 size ones after a quick search. Is there a way to pop out the thread hole and get a new one to put in? I called samsung help desk and they of course said they don't provide support for third party things even though it's on the TV. (They don't listen for shit but whatever).

    Helicoil thread repair kits. Might be able to find them @ a local Home Depot or Lowes.
