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

The only safe way to use a threaded fork in a threadless arrangement is if the steerer is so long the threadless stem clamps below the threaded section, which can be cut off. Otherwise the threads seriously weaken the steerer and clamping a stem over them is not a good idea.
