M6X.75 or M6X1 are closer to 28p in actual measurements. The taps are $6 at home depot if you don't have one and a M6X1X20 Socket head cap screw is $1.10 for two. 7/32 screw does not exist, you probably have a 12-28(.216). Hens teeth. You better do some math to see if M6 taps a 12 OK. May have only .010 on the radius to play with. Check it out. Depends on how bad the "strip" is. No drilling, just start tapping. Agree with Sears about doing only one.
