Lifting bolt

Recently bought an older model.  The previous owner replaced original keel bolts about 10 years ago but kept the original single lift hook.   I wanted to install the 2 bolt lifting plate unfortunately,  noticed the 2nd bolt was cut too short.  I am now thinking of stilling using the single lifting hook along with 2 5/8” double braided  lines as slings.  Will this approach work? 
Thank you

Can’t confirm the efficacy of your plan B. In our fleet, we used nuts that were partially milled-down on the shorter stud so the threads would engage.  One of those boats is still around. I’ll try to get som pix and post them here.
