Well I talked to a trusted machine shop. He was up front and told me that there was a 75% chance he could fix it. 3-4 hrs labor and probably a pound of nickel rod. Then drill and tap the threads. He'll know more when I get it to him. At least he is up front and honest about it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I was hoping it was a more common problem with an easy fix. I should have known with my luck there is no such thing.
