Thus the  question, is there any reasonable expectancy that I can retrieve

do now about the wallowed out hole? Can I re-tap it and somehow use  double 
inserts? Is there a larger diameter spark plug that will work in  it? Or do 
I 
just bite the bullet and buy a new head?

It never  rains but what it pours.

Byron,
 
The quickest, cheapest way to fix this problem in my experience is to buy a 
 good used head from one of the Corvair people in your area.  You might 
want  to save the old, damaged head for future repair work (I have a stash of  
such heads that will probably be recycled someday).  But it will be much  
easier and quicker to swap the heads.
