Door hinge bolt stripped

Curious what you guys have done when the nuts on the windshield pillar strips out. I went up to 7/16 and retapped, but I drilled the hole to big and it stripped again.

Has anyone change the plate on the backside of the pillar or any ideas..

Thank dfwright. I saw that post before I posted. I think I'm going to have to take the door off re-tap it to 1/2" thread then re-install the door.
