I agree with both bullseye69 and deadeer. There are 2 options.
1) go up in screw size, countersink the mount to the new screw size and you are done.
2) Put plugs in the holes, move the holes at least one screw diameter further forward towards the muzzle and re-do them.
A screw hole blank is a threaded part of a screw that has a slot in the top. It's used to fill unused screw holes.

I had a gunsmith put new sights on a gun once and he had the front sight so far off I nearly had to have the rear sight hanging off in one direction to get close to a center shot. Any other work like that will be done a factory if at all.
Or a gunsmith that I personally know his satisfied customers.
I hate that it happened to you. Let us know how it turns out.

Update.
Didn't go quite as expected. I walked in and pulled the owner aside because there were other customers. First thing he let me know is the gunsmith no longer works there. Second thing he did was actually acknowledged that there was obviously an issue. Not only that but pointed out other issues I didn't recognize. He point blank asked me what he needed to do to make it right. Explained all options as far as fixing the issues. Showed me how and why it happened. He asked me for at least a chance on fixing it to absolute standards that I'd be happy with and if I wasn't that he'd not only buy me another gun but upgrade to a higher model gun. Wasn't much I could say after that. All the suggestions that others posted earlier he brought up as options. Right now he's going to try to step up to another size hole and if it don't work he said that's as far as it'll go and he'll order the new gun. He wanted to have it back to me by Thursday but I gave him until Monday so he wouldn't rush. I'll keep everyone posted with updates

Wow! Sounds like he’s stepping up to the plate and trying to make things right. Getting rid of the gunsmith was the first step.

Isn't drilling and tapping one of the most common and basic mods a gun Smith would do? Hard to get good help

Sounds good. The "gunsmith" that no longer works there is not a real "gunsmith".
My guess is he had caused other problems...
You ever hear of Duck Tape?

Sounds like a stand up guy. Stuff happens; often folks will try and make it right.

Best possible outcome. Based on that service, I'd give them my business if I were close enough. Do you mind giving the name of the shop? No big deal either way.

I’d do just that go in and talk to them they may own the mistake and take care of you. If not not I’m not sure what I’d do probably pick the gun up and go to another gunsmith see what could be done, unfortunately it comes down them and how much they value the reputation of the company and customers You could take legal action but the cost is probably more than the gun is worth The best advice I can give is stay calm show them your concern and be reasonable as a rule most people will work with you and step up a lot more than someone that comes in yelling and making unrealistic demands Best of luck I agree with the staying calm part. When I found out about it I called them and stated the issue and my concerns but stayed very calm. My question to you is. What are unrealistic demands in your mind? In my opinion not giving the guy a chance to make it right is unrealistic asking for more than fair value of the gun. Not willing to work with them on a good outcome for both of you. I may have a different outlook I have employees that have screwed up things some was plain stupidity some was a honest mistake but I have always tried to make it right with the customer What sucks as a owner that does really care about his work values his customers with the net Facebook and everything else people can and will bash you if they don’t get their way regardless of them being right or wrong and yes sometimes the customer is wrong but you just try and not point it out it’s just very hard to defend yourself against it One example is a customer who buys strictly on price even if you advise them against it than complain nonstop because it doesn’t do what they want or expected some how it’s your fault
