My best was cross threading a header bolt on my old Ram 1500. I didn't realize the issue until the bolt was halfway into the aluminum head, so I jerry rigged it with about 6 washers to secure it in place so I wouldn't damage the threads any further.

I'm sure that I've had "extra" bolts left over after other installs too, but that just equates to weight savings so it doesn't really count
Hahaha yes! I almost had a bolt left over after this very install, but finally saw/recalled the very back spot for it.
