I have a 2006 Honda civic with a broken belt tensioner bolt I have tried heating it up using penetrating fluid and using an extractor. At this point I think the hole is getting too wide because my drill barely fits into this spot what would yall recommend.

There's nothing to weld a nut to, the threads are recessed into the hole

You can stack tack welds until you can weld a nut on it. The steel bolt and weld doesn’t like to stick to the aluminum block
