Re: Questions on how to proceed
Well it's not pretty, but I'd be surprised if a gasket wouldn't seal that. I agree with Blacky, I think you'll be ok. I would say you'll need a new pan if yours isn't perfectly flat.
Personally, if you can't get the normal bolts to hold in those holes, I'd grab something just slightly larger out of the hardware bucket that can be sent in there. It'll tap it's own threads. Maybe because I've never had a helicoil work out. And hopefully you never need to remove the pan again, on that transmission anyway.
That's not the correct way, but that's worked for me many times with these soft aluminum motors.
