Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Distorted but otherwise intact threads can be chased to repair them. Badly torn up threads can be repaired by drilling the hole oversize and rethreading for a Helicoil. A well equipped bike shop can do the job but be sure that's all that's damaged and that the job won't cost more than the crank is worth.
