It means the 33-year-old Scot, currently ranked 25th in the world, will miss out on the Crucible for the first time in 10 years.
McGill reached the semi-finals in 2020 and the quarter-finals twice since.
The 23-year-old He, ranked 72nd, had beaten another Scot, Ross Muir, 10-8 in round two.
Two other Scots – Graeme Dott and Stephen Maguire – retain hopes of reaching the main event.
Dott, the 2006 world champion currently ranked 54, beat Egypt’s Mostafa Dorgham 10-5 to reach the third round, where he faces 43rd-ranked Englishman Jackson Page.
The 28th-ranked Maguire will start as favourite against Ashley Hugill, the Englishman 41 places below.
