Bad Investment... recovery plan needed

Dear BP Community,

I made a bad investmen of $25k which I do not know if I will get back. I know the mistake I made and how not to ever do it again going forward. However, that $25k is affecting my credit... more so my utilization than my score. Also that debt was pulled from a LOC. Can't really make any moves until that is paid back. Slow roll it and pay it off in about 10 months? Use 401k to clear up credit? Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated! I am a newbie looking for first purchase.
