Stripped Screw Hole in Ceiling Advice

Since it is a ceiling fan you’re going to want it to be strong. I see two options here

Get a tap set and re-thread the holes a little larger and get new bolts

Or

Bolt the bracket for the fan to the stud directly instead of using the electrical box. Lots of fan bases are large enough that you can do this while still being able to hide the electrical box under it
