Measure it

Bolt: Measure across the crests of the bolt with the caliper jaws. Worn bolts read 0.1 to 0.3 under.

Nut or tapped hole: Measure across the tops of the threads inside the nut or hole with the inside jaws. That is the minor Ø. Worn or oversize holes read a little over.

Close in size, won't mate
