If you're considering replacing the steering tube, I would just run a 1" die on the existing one. I bet it will be fine.
I checked the internal diameter of a 1" headset adjustable cup and I got 24.48mm. So, I really doubt those threads were ground down to 25.0mm. They would've needed to go further to lose all evidence of the threads.
