They make a tool to put in a thread sert. I would let a toyota dealer do the job. The engine doesn't have to come apart. Good luck

Suggested Repair
Repair the stripped spark plug hole with a thread insert using the proper installation tool. Have a Toyota dealer perform the job; the engine does not need to be removed or disassembled.
