I did the exact same thing about 4 years ago when trying to modify and mount a turbo bracket (it uses that engine bracket/bolt/boss combination that you have circled). I was sick when I did it, but I easily repaired it with a helicoil and it is a strong repair that has held up to many more removals and re-installs . . . the most difficult thing was keeping the drill, and then tap, straight and true . . . if for some reason your new hole places the bolt at an angle your can recover by drilling the engine bracket hole bigger in diameter . . .
