Assuming this is a internal hole.
You could use G03 Helix. To climbmill you need to start at the bottom of the hole.
eg.
G00 X0 Y0
G00 Z-30
G41 G01 X28 Y0
G03 X28 Y0 I-28 J0 Z3 K5.5
G40 G01 X0 Y0
Note: You need to move Z 33mm to complete last turn.

If your cutter is large enough to cut the full depth I would think you should be able to do one pass. I've never cut a thread as coarse as 5.5 pitch so not specking from experience.
Just to make sure I've put you right, suggest you do a trial.
Cheers.
