Default blew out spark plug

To put it as nicely as i can, i just found out that the inconsiderate person who sold me my bike failed to mention that he blew a spark plug out of the head and used some contraption to hold it in place, i was wondering if anyone could possibly help me out, maybe an idea on how to fix it or possibly have a replacement head i could buy, i just spent pretty much everything i had on this bike but i gotta fix it somehow, im not gonna be that guy to someone else, any reasonably priced idea would really help.

Thanks

They make thread repair kits for those, like time sert. Download a manual for teardown and use the kits instructions for the repair.

Time serts work better than helicoils for spark plug holes.
