So what you're saying is that where the bolt screws into the caliper is stripped? That is not a nut, it is part of the caliper. If it is stripped, and a tap or thread chaser can't fix it... you probably need a new caliper

I'm thinking photo of the destroyed part would be very helpful in getting a common understanding of your issues.

Reviving an old thread here...

Somehow did this to the bottom bolt on my passenger caliper, Endlesslex any word as to whether you were able to rethread the caliper, or did you need to buy a new one?
