Stripped spark plug hole

So, I managed to strip one of the spark plug holes while installing new spark plugs . I refuse to heli coil it because of longevity issues. So...I am in search of a head. My question is.......can i just search for a 4g63 cylinder head....or does it HAVE to be for an EVO8. There are plenty of heads on ebay for eclipses and such but i dont know if it strictly has to be from another evo8. Thanks.

evo 8 block requires evo 8 head.

evo 9 block requires evo 9 head. or you can delete the mivac but its better to just get the 8 head. which fits on the 9 block.

eclipse blocks require eclipse heads.

You do realize heli coils are a permenant repair right?
It's not like it's a temporary one time use thing.
Heli coils hold 127 lb ft bolts on aircraft. Do it right and it will be fine.
