Message	If the threads are just bent a little then maybe you can straighten them out with a tap. But if they're stripped away, and there's no metal left to straighten, then you'll have to drill out the hole and tap it the next size up, and get a bolt to fit that new size. I would just try to clean the threads up first with the a tap, and if that doesn't fix it, then you'll have to take it from there, and buy a tap the next size up.
