1986 C6

While working on an unrelated problem I created a new problem! Lol I “tried” to remove the speedometer cable to get a little slack and snapped the retaining bolt off. If I can extract it what is the thread pattern and size? Or can I drill it out and tap a new hole? Any other risks I should be aware of in doing so? The truck is a 1986 F350 with the 6.9 IDI

Not sure if metric was used then or not, look at the bolt head, if metric it will say, if not it should be 1/4 with course threads.
