If you've got good threads deeper, but still within reach of the bolt and the problem is that you can't get the bolt started straight because damage to the initial threads, than saving the crank is easy.
Drill, ream or file out the damaged threads to allow the bolt to go in straight and engage the good threads. If you have more thread depth than your bolt uses, get a longer one, and cut it down to the maximum usable length.
