I will see if i can do it maybe by then end of the week ill try to fix it. If not then i might either store it for later or sell it

Jamming a new bolt into a screwed up hole is just going to make things worse.
Just clear the threads out. Get the right tap(typically the tap has the right drill with it).
Use lots of real oil... Go slow... Drill and then re-thread the shaft..

What if i take the thread out like you said and just find a way to keep the boly there without moving i dont know what exactly maybe some gorilla tape or something maybe just to keep it from coming put

Yes. You should remove the thread from the shaft, and clean it up real good, then put it back in.

Dude you really need to work on your typing...

It's not that "simple"... The threads are damaged... Cross threaded with what ever you put in there...
Once the hole is rethreaded, with the new bolt, you'll need to use BLUE lock-tite, that will hold the bolt, but allow it to be removed for service.

Ok i will try what. But after i remove the damged thread in the shaft. Dont i have to rethread it again? Or do i just put the bolt on with the blue locktite?

There is going to be damaged shaft and bolt thread bits, like little scythes... Clear out those bits... Run a corse thread tap with plenty of oil...

Ok ill head to home depot tommorow and see if i can find some corse threads.
