It's not hard to retap a hole. Just bring the bolt in that's spinning to a good hardware shop. Ask for the next size up. (Just run through the bolt/nut isle and figure out what size) You can get just about any size tap. You'll also want a corresponding drill bit. It should be a smaller size that the tap but about the same size as the current hole. (ask the salesperson for help) Sometimes, taps have the required drill bit size printed on it.

To tap, you drill out the hole to clean it up, making sure it's STRAIGHT! Then you start working the tap in. It's got a tapered edge on it to help you start getting it going. Work it in and out, a couple threads at a time taking it out completely many times to clean the metal shavings off. Also, get some cutting oil to help keep things lubricated.

It's not hard man, you can do it!
