I believe you are incorrect. Think about it. I'm supposed to throw away my $50-200 cartridge bottom brackets after 10-15k miles?
The spindles are not meant to be replaced. The BB functions as a whole (as most cartridge BBs do). I also seriously doubt it would wear out after 10k miles unless these were really hard miles. Even if that was the case, you could ride ~15 miles everyday for ~three years. Sorry you ruined the threads, but unless you can re-thread it somehow, it will need replacing.
