Ditto on the caliper bolt. It is busted off in the caliper bracket.
I have in the past re-tapped the caliper bracket for the other notch in the slide wedge. 5/16" would be correct for the thread size.

It's all good on the home front.
Removed the old bolt and only needed to tap the first few threads destoryed from the drill walking. Installed a new bolt and took out for a test drive. All is ok!
Lesson learned. MAKE SURE THE KEY IS CENTERED BEFORE STARTING THE BOLT!
