= Solution

Taking $\Theta=0$ gives $\lVert\Sigma\Theta-I\rVert_{\max}=1$, so every matrix is $1$-invertible. The smallest admissible value is
$$
\inf_\Theta\lVert\Sigma\Theta-I\rVert_{\max}.
$$
The map inside the norm is affine in $\Theta$, and a norm composed with an affine map is a <convex function>. The space of matrices is a convex feasible set, so this is a <convex optimization> problem.
