While you can take it apart and check, sometimes the damage done makes the fix worse than just living with the cross threaded BB that so far is working properly enough not to cause you noticeable issues.

What you describe for threading the BB in isn't unusual for things that aren't precision built. Bicycles are not the precision built machines some want to believe they are.
I like this perspective. Iride01 is saying that your original question doesn't matter. If it works, it works - whether it is cross threaded or not. The threads are not necessarily made to the highest precision. Attempting a fix might make things worse. You can always try again down the road when you re-replace the bottom bracket.
