We were speculating the cause because it could determine the likelihood of removing the bolt. For example, if it's cross-threaded, it probably is in there forever unless you drill it completely out and tap the hole for a larger bolt or threaded insert. Using the wrong bolt (metric vs SAE) would be a variation of cross-threading with the same result. If the bolt were too long and jammed against the bottom of the hole, it may come out if doing so didn't strip the threads. To make it simple for you, if the bolt didn't thread into the hole easily, you screwed up and the bolt probably won't come out. Intelligent people usually do things for a reason, such as analyzing a problem. TIP: When asking for help, don't be a dick.
