There is a product called a heli-core (if that is spelled right) and what it does is it replaces the old striped threads with identical ones. Go to your local bolt supply store, or a home improvement store might have them, and find your size and thread count. I have personally never used them, but many machinests and mechanics told me they work.
Tell me how it goes,
Chris.
