If it makes you feel any better, I've stripped nuts too, trying to get them off.
Be glad it wasn't something expensive like stripping a crank when using an puller (extractor ?).
After I've settled down, I shrug it off as a lesson...
Sometimes the cost per lesson is on the steep part of the learning curve.
I still can't think of a reason that that thread was left handed. It was on the right-side pedal, holding the pedal platform to the (tapered) pedal spindle.
