Don't try to tap a heli-coil. The tap will jam and possibly break. You can just take a sharp pick and bend the top of the coil in and then remove with needle nose pliers. Then you can clean up the threads with the heli-coli tap and install a new heli-coil. If it's too far gone for that then use the keensert.
