Just for future reference for anyone who crossthreads just the first 1-3 threads and doesn't know this trick: use a diamond blade on a grinder or w/e to cut a notch into the end of a new bolt that is the same diameter and thread count, and drive it into the hole. It works like a thread cutting bolt, and cleans up those first few boogered up threads. Its good to try this before re drilling and tapping!

Good tip...
