You can buy a 2-piece die the you can seperate and rejoin below the swollen threads, then start backing it off from below the bad threads. That might correct the threads. Or might require a little work with a flat file first. I have not used the set I bought, it just looked too useful to pass up. Google "split die set" and you'll find plenty of them.

Looks like your going to learn to hate rust as bad as I do. It's all fixable, but sure puts a damper on your progress.
