Probably SOL on warranty replacement -- extractor thread problems are almost exclusively a result of "user error" and unless you can definitively prove otherwise that's what they're going to call it.

Some possible options for you:

If the threads aren't *totally* gone, you may be able to chase them out and get the extractor to work:

Otherwise, there are tools to cut new threads at a slightly larger diameter, but they're expensive for a one-off job. Perhaps an LBS already has them:
