Not all solid inserts are the same. The solid EZ-LOK inserts are very large (the exterior is an M10x1.5 thread), and likely too large for this application.

However, Time-Sert makes solid inserts with much thinner walls -- the major (outer) diameter for the M6 insert is only .290, or 7.37mm, so the hole you need and the amount of surrounding material to remove is a smidgen less than with a helicoil (about 8mm).

The downside is that the TimeSert kits are more expensive than a helicoil type and less commonly available -- an M6 Time-Sert kit is currently $68.25 on Amazon. You can get a helicoil-type kit for less than $30 just about anywhere, and it should work just fine in this application.

The cam cap bolts on a GS850 are a 6mm thread. However, the bolts are a special length and a special higher grade, so substitutes should not be used.
