Loose tran oil pan bolt

One bolt won't tighten. Others torqued at 13ft-lbs. What to do?

No leaks but I want to do it right.

Probably a striped thread. You can try to re-tap it but it will probably need a heli-coil http://www.emhart.com/brands/heli-coil/, keen-sert http://alcoafastener.thomasnet.com/c...keenserts-reg- or whatever thread repair setup you prefer.
