Mine were as well. I just ran a 1/2 tap in them and they cleaned right up and converted over 1/2 bolts

How badly stripped? The two holes that the tow hooks go into are M12x1.25 and a tap is cheap. Here in Denver we have an all metric place and US-made plug taps go for around $5 to $10 in the Toyota sizes (the 12mm was $7). Just about any winch bumper you get will probably use the tow hook holes, so you really need them. If they are really badly stripped and the threads are completely gone, then you can go to 1/2". Personally I would use M14x1.5, which is the next bigger JIS size, but either way there aren't many 14mm or 1/2" bolts on your truck anyway.
