the threads in the picture look fine. To me the "tell" is that he says it goes in about 3 turns, which means the pedals start and then the mismatch in angle or thread crown builds up and causes them to become harder to turn.
OP is smart not to force it.

Huh, maybe I stand corrected but I will say that when this comes up at the Drag strip, track or on the road where safety and 1000's of a second count, I will address threads like this with a very critical eye and take whatever steps necessary to make the next round or down the road.
I have never missed a round or didn't get down the road in my life, yet.
