Overtightened Wall Mount

Make\Model : Sony Bravia Kdl 46ex500
Hello all! I unfortunately did what every TV mount instruction manual says not to do, overtightened my wall mount. I tightened the first three (Top right, bottom left, bottom right) then when I got to the last one (Top left) I heard a snap after trying to tighten the bolt. Thinking I was cracking something, I tried to loosen the bolt. This is when I heard something drop within the TV and the bolt now spins in place.
It's been that way for about 5 months now on my mount. I usually check every other week and it still seems to be holding strong. However, I will be moving here in about a month and thought I'd take a crack at fixing it while it's off the mount.
So, has anyone either disassembled a TV that closely resembles mine that knows if this is fixable, or has anyone experienced the same issue with a 'broken' thread? Any tips, suggestions, online reading material, etc.. would be handy since this will be first time trying to repair a TV.
Some Additional Info :
- Sony recommends 8mm to 12mm bolts, I used 10. http://www.docs.sony.com/...Flyer_4191201121.pdf
