This might be an option:

If nothing else the photos show the spigot location and access. We haven’t heard back yet from the OP on the existence of an internal hex, or lack thereof, on the spigot.
Best,

Helicoil
Get the proper sized helicoil and die. Problem solved. When installing a filter a wrench should not be used, hand tight and MAYBE a a little extra. You’re only trying to set the seal. Don’t forget to apply a little oil to seal first. I’ve installed many a high pressure filter on aircraft hydraulic systems running at 3,000 psi and it was alway hand tight and one flat maximum with wrench.

I too thought it would be removable but a guy on advrider bought a used case and sacrificed it to see how it was made. Turns out his was CAST in place. Here’s a pic showing the sectioned spigot after cutting it from the case and removing most of the surrounding aluminum with a lathe: photo credit to Donkey Hotey advrider.com https://advrider.com/f/threads/re-threading-an-oil-filter-nipple.1447707/page-20

The part pictured does not appear to have a hex on it (why would it be needed?) if it were cast in place.
The one on mine does which leads me to believe it was an update (last of the run 04/2013)
Note: the casting and machining on mine is different from the OP's
