I got another M5 bolt and screwed it into the hole, for some reason it had no problem catching and it seems to have cleared enough that the barrel will now screw in, think it solved it.
How far in do I want the barrel adjuster when setting up the rear mech (as if it was brand new)? Tightened right up? Half way? I've never known.

I'd try a tap first and a new adjuster, if that fails you may be able to drill it and add a threaded insert if a lack of threads is the problem, at worse if you can get a barrel adjuster to sit where it's meant to go you can add an inline adjuster for actual adjustment.
