You can get a decent metric tap set from AutoZone for $30, that's what I would recommend if you aren't a machinist. If an M8 bolt goes all the way through with pushing, I would say that an M8 tap is off the table (you can still try that first if you want, but it will most likely fail). Make sure you drill centered with the correct bit before you try and tap an M10.

If you're not sure what bit to use, they have many charts that show the correct bit for each thread size. Here is a link to a place with several charts: 23 Printable Tap Drill Charts [PDF] ᐅ TemplateLab

Good luck, let me know if you have any questions.
