Default Cross threaded thread for front brace :(

I guess I cross threaded the left-most thread for one of the bolts that holds the front under brace in after installing my new caster arms... The bolt has an 11 on the head and it uses a 14mm socket to remove. It goes in about 3/4 of the way. It is contributing to some clunking so I need to repair the thread. Can anyone help me by indicating what size thread tap I need to use on it?

can anyone confirm if the tap is a M8-1.25 thread? I measured the bolt and the threads are 8mm in diameter and what looks like 1.25mm in pitch.

its a M10-1.25
