Буквального перевода нет. Смысловой перевод - "больной вопрос". Используя пример уважаемого BRSwartz - "The fact that the boss won't even discuss the reasons why there is no raise in wages this year is a real sore point for the workers" Перевод будет - "Тот факт,что руководитель не хочет даже обсуждать причины, почему в этом году не происходит подъёма заработной платы, остаётся по- настоящему больным вопросом для работников ".

A sore point is a topic or issue that causes bad feelings / anger for someone. "Don't talk about Tom's ex-wife if front of him. The divorce left him without a lot of money and continues to be a sore point with him." "The fact that the boss won't even discuss the reasons why there is no raise in wages this year is a real sore point for the workers."
