Part of being a good mechanic is knowing when to not waste your time.You can’t file off or cut off any of the damaged threads.
Because there is a shaped seal right there, that seals against the ball of the lever.
If the seal is gone, the nut will leak when running high volume water, or when draining a full sink.
You can try this first if you are going to replace it, grease the ball, then put
abs glue on the male and female parts and screw together but not to the point it strips . wait one hour and the see , nothing ventured nothing gained
It could work , and for free .Why wouldn’t you just replace it ? I being sincere......
