Time to tap dance
Using the good advice of gentleman at the hardware store, I put the Tie-down bar in my vise between 2 blocks of wood. I put some oil in the end of the bar hole and on the end of the tap tool. I put the tap tool into the hole and started screwing it in, making sure that I was going in straight and not wabbling around. After I went in about 3/16", It got harder to turn (as predicted) and I backed it out completely. Then I used my air nozzle to blow away the aluminum shavings. Then I put more oil in the hole and on the tap tool and went back in. I repeated this procedure over and over again until the hole was fully tapped. It turned out damn nice, if I do say so.
