Well tapping the threads didn't work. Seems the b/b itself is screwed up. The fixed cup is off and the loose side was stuck on the b/b slightly crooked. When I fixed it and threaded it back in, well lets say when I gave a little presure on the crank it basically pulled the b/b right out of the frame. Now the shell is toast. Crap, crap, crap. Threadless b/b is the only option now I guess.
