Just get a self threading larger diameter bolt and put it in...that's what I would do.

Take note of the bolt size and pick up a Heli Coil that's one size larger. Drain the pan and thread the Coil into the stripped threads so it can cut new ones. Then pick up a new bolt to match the new threads along with a new crush washer. It's either that or get a new pan.
I hope you didn't hit up VIR with the bike like that.

Silcone and JB Weld can't fix everything, if that bolt's stripped you're walking a thin line between safety and danger. If it comes loose and drops down it'll drain the pan all over your rear tire while causing a blown motor and possibly a bad wreck for you and whoever's behind you.

oil pans suck. you shouldnt really thread and tap for a larger bolt, the pan normally isnt thick enough. Helicoil or you can TRY silicone although I dont reccomend it one bit. or replace the pan. use a torque wrench next time ; )

I had a leaking oil drain plug on my 96 and I replaced the whole pan only to find out it was the actual bolt. Unusual because the pan I believe is aluminum (softer) than the steel plug, but replacing the pan ($100+) didnt do the trick. I tried the "right" size plug from Pep boys/Strauss and that didnt work either. It wasnt until I used the correct Kawi part until the problem went away. I spent $150+ and it wound up being a $6 repair.
Might not be the same for you, but something to consider.
I certainly wouldnt use silicone, but if you do make sure its the high temp stuff.
Make sure you replace the crush washer as well as the bolt.

The pan might not be stripped, could be a crush washer problem. Unless of course you knowingly stripped it.

When doing the helicoil, do I have to remove the oil pan completely?
Cakes - Yeah it's stripped

If you are removing the pan, get a gasket and a new pan and drain plug with a washer, just do it, it's not that $$ and it will be 100%

....while I am not all too tech savvy, why not just take care of the problem altogether rather than patching and or getting a bypass in place.....that way your good to go and not have to visit this issue later on....of course if $$ is of concern then yeah take the appropriate steps to save you the dough...
But being that your hitting up the track, ,in the interest of safety just get it taken care of.
Soda; I am amazed on how that bike of yours keeps going... ....if you were to post a pick would it be 80% duck tape and zities?
