Does anyone know if such a thing exists - basically a shim/tube to allow an M5 bolt to be used in a M6 hole?

Begs the question why?
You could possibly helicoil it? But not sure whether a m6 hole could possibly be too big to get a m5 helicoil into.

It doesn't need to be threaded, just to stop the M5 bolt rattling around in the M6 hole.

You could try one of the below - although I guess it'll be an M6 clearance hole, so the bush won't be a tight fit but will get rid of some of the 'slack' if thats all that is needed.
