That said, you should pull the crank and bottom bracket and try to clean up the threads by "chasing" them with a tap. There may be enough left to be usable. If not, clean everything well, relube and treat the bad side with one of the Red (strong) Loctite grades. It should hold the cup adequately but disassembly in the future will be difficult to impossible. That should get you a season or two more out of the bike.

There are ways of salvaging a damaged bottom bracket shell such as retapping it to Italian threads which are larger. However, I really don't think a Target level bike is worth the expense or work.
