Well, yeah.

A relative of mine asked if I could put together a beater bike for him, so I pulled a frameset from the boneyard. It was missing one crank bolt.

"Can't let it go like that" I thought, and tried to insert one. Stopped rapidly, took too much force. Brought out one of my notched "cleaner" bolts. It too took a lot of force, and not much came out. But it flattened the thread profile on the "cleaner" bolt.

If it comes down to the same money, I'd rather buy a tap than another BB. Get this beater bike on its merry way.
