The first couple of threads go just fine but then after about 4mm in the whole assembly goes sideways and gets stuck. I can't see any crossthreading though. The old bottom bracket that came out has the exact same problem so it seems like the problem is the frame. I'll probably drop by a bike shop tomorrow and ask if they can retap the threads.
Shouldn't be an issue; wouldn't worry too much about it; probably just a burr in there that got wedged when the original BB was pulled (probably for the first time)!

Might be good to have it faced at the same time, if there's any paint on the BB shell edge surface.
