:( not good mate
And you're right you can only cross thread it when it was being done up tight. I think that some idiot that's used a Wrench, ZIP Gun. to do them :( Touch wood only time I've had a problem with this was the alloy wheel bolts. !Removed! made me mad that I even asked the garage at the time not to use a gun to tighten them up as I don't see the need.
