Drill out the blocked thread with a drill that suits the core diameter (diameter of the bolt across the bottoms or root of the threads) first if you can.
like a home made tap, good idea and I'll certainly keep it in mind the next time for sure. The glue oozed out for a whole day, not a pretty sight. Thanks
