You might need to put new threads and a bolt. I had that problem and I mad the hole bigger and put new threads in and a bigger bolt that fited it.

You can take your old plug to the local auto parts store and they can give you a self-threading plug which will be a size bigger and automatically make new threads as you put it in.
