M6x1.0 is what you need, not a good idea to drill and resize the bolt has a small point on it to locate the cable better using the correct bolt with heli coil

i sell recoil kits at my work.

a full repair kit for m 6 x 1 our RRP $45+
the kits contain tap and 10 inserts.

they're easy as to use. they tell you exactly what size to drill it too. tap it. insert the helicoil insert and *bam* your good as new.

i would definately go this option if it were me.
