I assume you don't mean sub-frame, but actually mean trailing arm. The trailing arm can be bought as a replacement part if you really ruined it ($160 for the arm $60 for the bushings). I would certainly try to clean up the hole with a tap if you can get one that large (M14, I think). Try threading from the back of the hole. If you can't find a tap, put the bolt through the hole from the back.
When I attached the shock, I had to put a jack underneath the shock to get it lined up with the trailing arm hole. You also might want to consider loosening the top 4 bolts to make it easier to position the shock.
