Sway bar bushing bolt backed out/stripped the hole...

[Boston GN]

It looks as though my front sway bar frame bushing bolt stripped out of the hole and now the bar bangs against the frame. I tried another bolt, but the same thing happened. I'm assuming my only way to fix this is to rethread the hole at a large size and use in a larger bolt?
Also, I do have an HR Parts rear bar. What are the pros and cons of just removing the front bar all together?
I've read of people doing this with no ill effects due to having this large rear bar.
Thoughts?

Thank you!
I was thinking that in the future I was going to upgrade to the RideTech Muscle Bar as it doesn't seem to have the same mounting points. Although, at $500, it can wait until next year especially if I can get away with driving without my front.
