Default ABZ crank pulley bolt

Hi everyone,

Was doing my timing belt and saw that whoever was in there before me had taken an air chisel to the crank pulley bolt and taken off a chunk. Unfortunately I can't seem to find this particular bolt anywhere (Canada). Had to file down part of the bolt for the socket to fit over.

Would I be able to use the crank pulley bolt from the 40v engines? As far as I know it's the same threat pattern, but slightly shorter at 85mm vs 100mm and a different head.

I can't seem to find any aftermarket bolt and no one seems to stock the bolt for this engine anymore.

My other option would be to reuse this bolt. As much as I wouldn't like to, would red loctite be sufficient when reusing? I've attached images of the damage to the bolt.

Thanks
