You can try "git bisect skip", but in general the better choice is to just
do

git bisect visualize

to open up gitk with the current set of possible targets, and then just
pick a likely point by hand, and do

git reset --hard <sha1-of-the-thing-you-picked>

and try that one instead. There's some talk about this in "man git-bisect"
but maybe it's not very good.
