GXP bottom bracket help

Switched to a gxp bottom bracket and sram force crank a few months ago. Have had constant trouble with it. Have tightened and torqued everything else on the frame, but they have developed a nice creak when under moderate to heavy power.

Im afraid to pull them back out of the frame as they are very tight and snug.

the drive side bearing seems to be somewhat junky, it still spins but not very well.

Do you guys think I should try to regrease the threads on the cups, or is my bearing the possible culprit of the noise.

thanks.
