if you are scared about cross threading the bolt, you can achieve the same results by buying 4 one inch rare earth magnets and making a 2X2 square with them and placing the magnets on the dome of the oil filter.  it will catch a whole lot more crud in the filter and you wouldn't have to try to take off the shavings from the tip of the bolt (since they would be caught on the inside of the filter.)  If you ever want to see what got caught all you have to do is remove the magnets with a little oil left in the filter and turn the filter over.  You will see the shimmer in the oil from all of the small metal particles that the magnet held inside the filter.
