I understand that a shell could be threaded backwards, but I don't get how a BB shell could be "installed backwards". The shell pretty much only goes in one way, doesn't it?

Not on a filet brazed or tigged frame, it can go either way and both ends look the same on the outside.

If those threads are stripped, and the frame is valuable, there are so many ways to fix it I can't list them all. In no case is the frame toast.
