Most auto parts stores sell a thread repair epoxy. I think it's made by permatex. I used it on a striped spark plug once

I bet Thick bikes would do a helicoil.

If you are talking about pedal threads in the crank, lots of shops can do that. Pick your favorite and give them a ring.

I done a few and personally hate doing them, there is a lot of elbow grease involved in reaming the hole out to a larger size and then taping the new threads.
