Weld and recut threads. Any decent engineering place should be able to do it no problem  :daumenhoch:

Sorry to be a little obvious, but have you tried to thread a headset top race down them?  :daumenhoch:

If it can be threaded, they are serviceable, surely?  ???

Sorry if I have stated the obvious.  :-\
