You can't strip a caliper bolt taking it out, so whoever was putting it back in should be paying for this. Judging from "...to hold on my brake pads or caliper or something on my brakes...", it wasn't you doing the job.
New can come from the dealer, so that's an option. I'm sure an auto wreckers can find one for you. I tried www.car-part.com and found lots of them, starting at about $100, all over the U.S.
Alternatively, a good machine shop should be able to either weld & retap or helicoil it for you. Check your yellow pages.

You don't need a knuckle. Just retap the threads in the knuckle and use a larger caliper pin. I used pins from a 98 Ram.
