Default Stripped the thread!!!!!!

I got a new caliper for my front left brakes anddddddd I went to go put in the banjo bolt and stripped the inside thread (I think? It might have been already stripped I bought the part from Auto Zone) Idk, I had someone step on the pedal to bleed out the brakes and fluid was leaking everywhere.. but yea theres shavings all inside the caliper hole and stuff.

What should I do? Take it back and say it came stripped?

I'm sure they'd take it back even if you told them you striped it. (But don't try it, lol) Take it back.

Try a Screw and Bolt Extractor Kit. It might work.

They ordered me another one without the reciept. They know me there, so it was cool.. places like that keep a profile of stuff you get, so it's already in the computer anyway.
