This is why we always start threads by hand - if you use a tool everything can feel fine until it isn't, the thread galls and you're left with a mess to clear up. It's a good idea to chase the bottom bracket after galling has occurred, because part of the cup thread may now be welded to the shell, making the cup hard to remove in future.
