The thick metal plate has a thread for two bolts. By mistake I screwed one of the bolts in all the way. Now the bolt won't come out from the metal plate - bolt spins freely both directions. I tried to apply downward force on plate while turning the bolt in hopes that it will "catch on thread", but it didn't.

**Any tips on how to get the bolt out? And is the thread most likely ruined in the plate and/or bolt?**

P.S. this part is from washing machine where it goes into trunnion.
