Hmmm.
I think I have a similar problem. Or not.
My bolt looked like yours, except that the threads were solid towards the top of the bolt. I didn't have any problems taking it off. However, since the threads were solid towards the top, I couldn't screw the bolt all the way in.
I posted this as a result:

Seems that other people had the same problem, or not a problem at all.
I did this about 300 miles ago, so far no problems with my rear brake caliper.
What do you guys think?
Your bolt looks like it's messed up much like mine is. I'd plan on fixing it if it were my bike.
To everyone else, DON'T EVER REMOVE THAT BOLT!
