take it off and use a tap to rethread it and get a new bolt that is a little wider

does the bolt just spin and spin in the hole? or does it just get stuck and not seal if its the ladder just get a 14mm tap run it through it, i suggest putting a little grease on it to catch the metal shavings from staing in your pan, get a new crush washer and call it a day no need to drill and retap you probably either cross threaded it or got some foriegn matterial stuck in the threads
