Get it retapped with a larger hole. You can do the same with other side too if you like, but why? It doesn't need to be asymmetrical really.
Anyway, tap it, but be careful, there's not a lot of metal left.
Another thing you can have done is weld a bolt of the same size and just secure that side with a nut, instead of tapping...does that make sense?
