Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

I suspect that you have a crankset where the spindle is integral to the right crank so you;re probably out a complete crankset. Stripped spindles are rare, so I don't agree that these threads are out of place on a bike crank. You might (barely possible) tap the spindle for a coil thread insert, but it's not a common size, and I don't know if there's enough meat to allow it to be done successfully.

So to answer your last questions, there is no god to appeal to, and you're royally screwed.
