PRM full swingarm skid issue

Just installed my PRM full swingarm skid this morning. Other than the rotor side hose clamp being a complete pain in the ass, installation was very easy.

Only other issue I had is that the alan head bolt hole on the side of the swingarm that originally housed one of the 2 bolts that held the OEM rotor guard on didn't line up with the skidplate hole. Instead of taking everything off again and re-bolting in a different order, I thought I could get the bolt in, and cross threaded the first 2 threads.

So now I have a bolt hole in my swingarm that I don't want to chance forcing a bolt into and further damaging it , and I'm one bolt short of having the skid plate completely fastened. Should I bother with re-tapping this hole, aka, is that one bolt going to be essential to the success of my swingarm staying on? Or should I just leave it be and ride the shit out of my quad tomorrow?

Doesn't look like this hole could be used for anything else...

Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Also, chain significantly drags plastic glide, is this a non-issue? I assume it is, will just wear down, don't think it will cause enough friction to hurt anything. Also realize I posted in the wrong thread... sorry
