You might try a larger (wider) bolt. Or, use some electrical tape too hold the connector to the terminal.

I say buy a new battery with teminals on the top and swap over your cables to work with it. I hate the side post batteries GM's come with. I'd be careful tapping it and not going in too far and opening up the battery.
