Go to your hardware store and buy a tap, size M5x0.8mm. It will cost about $6. If you don't have one, buy a handle for that tap. It will also cost about $6. Run that through every rack braze on and every fender braze on and every water bottle bolt hole. Or ask your local bike shop to chase out the threads for you. That's the tool they will use.
