Zoom in on that bad hole. Then zoom in on one of the good ones.

Do the good ones look like they are threaded in deeper than the bad hole?

Are you sure there is nothing in the bad hole? Could be packing material.

Does the screw look normal (fully threaded and not mangled up)?

Is this screw longer than the other screws?

I would either cut the length of the screw or tap the hole a little further in. Its gonna be a standard metric size. You can measure it with a pair of calipers. You can cut the screw down a little too as long as you get between 6 and 8 full rotations. A set of taps could be purchased for like $10 to 20 at Harbor Freight.
