If, as you say, the bolt is tight, it means that the bolt has bottomed and either the bolt is the wrong length or the crank arm is ruined. Take the crank arm off and run the bolt down all the way. If the head contacts the spindle, replace the crank arm.

Don't keep riding it like that. You are placing unusual stress on the bolt head and will eventually break it off.
