Yes, it can be re-tapped by you or a gunsmith. Should be straightforward.
Btw, wrong sub-forum to ask.

Agree with NiteQuill. This should probably be in the gunsmith forum. Maybe one of the moderators will move it.
Lots of ways. Left hand drill bit might get it out. Otherwise a regular drill bit and easy out.
If you do not know of either of these it might be best to take to your gun smith.

It's an easy fix if the threads aren't too F'd up.
Here's my recommendation:
If you stripped out the threads on either the screw or your action, DO NOT do this repair yourself. It's beyond your skill set.
If an action screw doesn't thread in easily, don't be ham fisted and force it.
Take the rifle to someone competent, and if you didn't damage the action, it'll be fixed in 5 minutes.

Turns out the threads are fine I took it to my smith and he found that the stock was giving way and not being able to snug the action screw to the stock mods are being made as we speak
