Well I guess I will just have to put the torque wrench on it and see if it holds. It's just funny that the banjo bolt that came with the kit stripped it out so easily. I know I know I should have done that the first time. I was just trying to get it close and must have went to far. Thanks for the help.

Please don't make risky decisions with your brakes.

No you don't do this with a sealing thread on a closed wet system like hydraulics or brakes, it will never seal again as the fluid will work it's way around the insert or helicoil and weep constantly.
OP unless you have the right tools and a solid mechanical background find another MC and chalk this one to a life's lesson about proper torque. As has been said if you have the stock black one there's a load of them on ebay and in indy shops to be had very reasonable , just ask to be sure you aren't buying the same issue as yours.

Most important thing on the bike is stopping it. No Tapping, Sealers, etc.
A used MC or even a new one is much cheaper that any scenario after a failure.
