I have a 1969 VW camper bus (westafalia) ... anyways the spot in the head where the spark plug screws in is completely stripped... any suggestions? let me know!

Take it to a shop, they will have to drill out the spark plug seat and install a time-sert thread insert in it to repair it or you can replace the cylinder jug head on that cylinder.

if you are mechanically inclined you could put in the time cert, or just take it to a shop, dont use helicoil

its called time-cert, do not use a helicoil insert for spark plugs,

Yep, a helicoil needs to be installed.
