Pick a tap size slightly larger than the existing hole. Make sure you have a screw that will fit it. Assemble the tap. Lubricate the hole with WD-40, oil, or some other appropriate proprietary formula. Place the tap in the hole and twist clockwise. Keep the tap straight and in line with the hole. Back out every few turns to remove any loose material. Once complete, clean the hole with compressed air or forced water to remove any lubricant and debris.
Use appropriate sized drill bit to drill completely through the stuck screw and retap the hole if new screw is necessary.
Replace the head or redrill the hole and retap it for a bigger screw.
You will need to DRILL it out and if you mess up the threads then you will need to retap the bolt hole.
To properly install a screw into an inset screw hole, align the screw with the hole and gently turn it clockwise using a screwdriver until it is securely in place. Be careful not to overtighten the screw, as this can damage the material around the hole.
The hole into which a screw is inserted is called a pilot hole. This hole helps to guide the screw into the material and prevent it from splitting or cracking. It also makes it easier to drive the screw in.
To fix a stripped screw hole, you can use a larger screw, fill the hole with wood glue and toothpicks, or use a screw repair kit.

To repair a stripped screw hole in wood, you can fill the hole with wood filler or a wooden dowel, then re-drill a pilot hole and insert a new screw. Alternatively, you can use a larger screw or a screw anchor to secure the wood.
To fix a loose screw hole, you can try using a larger screw, filling the hole with wood glue and toothpicks, or using a wooden dowel to create a new anchor point for the screw.
Yes, there are solutions for a screw hole that is too big, such as using a larger screw, filling the hole with a filler material, using a wall anchor, or using a screw sleeve or bushing to provide a tighter fit for the screw.
The hole that you put a screw into is referred to as a "tapped hole". The rib-like things in the hole are called "threads" or, more specifically, "internal threads" as opposed to the external threads on a screw.
Yes, the hole is too big for the screw to fit properly.
