Or remove the intake manifold and heili-coil the hole to replace the sensor. I wouldnt heili-coil it on the car though. Would not want to risk getting aluminum chips in the engine.

if ANY metal fell in it, you've now earned your way inhto an intake manifold removal.
that in mind, you can just get a junkyard manifold, swap it in, scrap your old one, and call it good.
you'll need a good shop vac to vacuum out the ports.

Re intake
If you have been running it for 3 days the aluminum peaces of the threads have already gone the head and done what they are gona do.....plugging the hole is the easiest.....but changing the intake from one from pull a part is a good idea .........how did you strip the first one were you using a German torque wrench hahaha say this in your best German accent gouud annn tight
