My used stretched bolt had no problem threading into the hole with finger pressure only. Based on that, I'm pretty confident that I didn't damage my block threads with the used stretched bolt. It's perfectly adequate for the job of cleaning snot out of threads.

One trick I use that works REALLY well....Buy a can of Brake parts cleaner (non-chlorinated), and spray some down each hole. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then blow them all out. Then clean your threads. The brake parts cleaner will break up all the old gunk on the threads, and make it much easier for the chaser bolt to get it out.
It's a little messy, but essential on older engines IMO where old factory loctite is caked up in the holes.
