If there’s enough meat, a bike shop can tap and clean. You may have lost a couple threads but it’s better than none.

Someone mentioned heli coil which is the go to if there’s no meat left at all. Most bike shops should have these but I remember when we couldn’t get our hands on them for months for some reason.

I see it’s a an old 105 crank. These guys go for cheap. If a bike shop isn’t too big of jerks, square taper cranks can be slapped on and off within thirty minutes(if they’re not busy…) Maybe take a look around on Ebay if everything else is too troublesome.

Again, ignore the “you’re stupid” comments. Happens all the time.

By the looks of the poll, it’s time for some new cranks. Usually the case.
