Need advice: damper bolt hole in crank damaged

MOPAROFFICIAL said
If you have some thread engagement, you could shorten the crank bolt, leave the **** in the hole and just tighten the bolt.

It cupped, it's like yankin on a fish hook.

That was my thought also. If you have a 1/2 or so of good threads at the front of the hole...
Lots of different engines didn't have a bolt there. Not say yours is not needed but it certainly doesn't need to be so deep.
