Run a tap down the threads and see if the bolt will thread in before trying to "fix" it. The gasket is metal, and although Honda would recommend replacement you can reuse it. I've reused mine twice and haven't had any problems.

Well I can promise you that you will not crack the block by using a bigger bolt for your header.
