I was changing my front brakes pads, and i got to the left wheel and noticed that both of the caliper screws were stripped? im not sure what to do?

heli-coil thread repair kit. You can get them @ hardware/ auto parts stores. Have to buy new bolts too. Try to get Grade 8 bolts.

Or go to a salvage yard and yank the caliper braket and bolts off another car.

Take a small hammer and tap on the head of the bolt/pin until you get a nice metal to metal sound when try tightening them. Often times the pin will not insert all the way and you can't get the first thread to ingage.
