Boy, they certainly made a mess of that! Crazy

I think that if you simply fill the hole and then try to re-drill, regardless of the material you choose for the filler, the bit will wander off-course. If possible, it might be better to drill the hole considerably larger to take in all of the existing holes. You'll end up with a big off-centre hole that can be filled with brass rod or a brass screw of suitable diameter, which can then be drilled to accept the bushing in its proper place.
