You can also "peen" the back side of the bolt handle with a center punch to create raised pressure points to compensate for the wear. Half a dozen solid hits can raise enough material to cam it forward and correct minor headspace issues.
It will keep a 22LR shooting until you can get it fixed properly; mine is still working 35 years later.
OT- I've found a good spray cleaner and air pressure work well to clean a Cooey bolt.
