Use a slightly longer bolt with a nut and lock washer.....put the nut on the outside so it won't rub on the chain etc. if its at the dropout area. That is one cheap way to do it. I'd try to back the bolt out and inspect the threads then maybe run a tap though it to clean out any paint plus freshen the threads. Use a new bolt also if its stretched or damaged. You might have damaged the bolt and not the frame threading making it an easy fix.
