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

plus if you stuff it again you dont have to keep going to bigger size bolts

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.
