Do you mean some of the bolt is stuck in the thread of the machine?

If so you will have to drill a small hole in the stuck part and use a bolt extractor.

Places like Screwfix do them https://www.screwfix.com/p/bolt-extract ... lsrc=aw.ds

or Toolstation, bound to be at least one of those in your area.

Grab a tiny screwdriver and gently tap the screw thread back out.
then go to your local diy store and get a new thumbscrew most likely 8mm or 10mm depending on your press.
