Would you ride a triple ring with stripped thread?

I recently bought a used Sugino AT, and, upon disassembly, I realized that one of the 74bcd holes is stripped. I can still get a bolt lodged in there, but this sacrifices the bolt, and I'm unlikely to be able to get it out again (easily, or at all). Would you ride a ring secured there, assuming all of the other bolts work normally?

I have BBs in two different lengths, so I guess another option could simply be to make it a compact double with 52-34 rings on the 110bcd area, but I would like to have that 28t ring for occasional times I would need it.

I bought it from a charity bike shop, so I'm not going to seek any recourse -- I'm sure they had no idea, and my money is going to better use in their training programs.

WWYD?
