DSJ41,

If you grind the last couple of threads off that bolt, just use a small needle style (jewelers) file to dress the rough thread edges. If you give them a slight bevel along the outer thread edge, they won't be a problem if you need to remove the plug and removing the sharp edges may keep more skin on the backs of some knuckles the next time you happen to reach down into that area for some reason. grin
