Trying to correct that may lead to mis-adjusting the steering box and consequent poor steering.

It is possible to get the correct size (maybe even OE) bolt in there when it is a tooth off, you just have to hammer it a little. This will do some minor damage to the fastener threads, but it must have been possible to drive the nut home.
Prior to my acquisition (and I hope since), my coach was apparently conscientiously and diligently maintained. I suspect that the owner turned it over to a less than competent shop at one time for some reason unknown to me.
