If that fails, any idea how bad shimano is going to **** me for a new crank arm?
Wow. You are person companies HATE dealing with. You installed the pedals loose, and the threading got damaged. It's your fault. What does Shimano have to do with that? As someone who has a clue said above, get a helicoil installed, learn your lesson, and don't harass CSRs because you're a cheapass.
