It is with the right tools, You'd need to work out the diamitor of the thread & match it with a tap, I think it will be an 6 or 8mm but check to be sure.

once you have the right size tap, WD40 the tap, try and make it as straight as possible otherwise you'll be screwing into the thread wrong. 2 turns in and half back each time, (this will pull out any cut metal) be paitent and it will thread.

To get at where it is, you may need a long neck tap (may require you to buy a set) Which can cost anywhere between £30 & £100 for a decent set. (you will need it again sometime in the future).
