Uhm, not to rain on anyone's aprade here... but an M54 overheated to the point of stripping the head bolts out is done. Bes tot part it out in that this case. You can do a time cert repair, but the metal around the threads could be stressedd to the point that it'll just fail again in the future. The head is probably warped as well.
