Screw + bolt? Might be there’s not enough material to make a thread safely.

Fit threaded inserts. You're probably better off getting an LBS to do it for you, as it needs a tool that, unless you are into regular mechanic-ing, you're unlikely to have much use for. The tool in question doesn't do anything other than fit threaded inserts.

M5 nutsert uses a 7.1 mm hole
If you fit nutserts use aluminium ones as they are easier to "set" than steel ones.

@ltc
My new Cotic frame has a small hole on the bottom of the wishbone and another one behind the bottom bracket shell, between the chain stays. Both would be really useful for mounting mudguards but surprisingly neither are threaded. What's the easiest way to add a thread, is it something someone who's not particularly handy/DIY inclined could manage or am I better off paying someone to sort it?
