Stripped packing nut on bathroom faucet (compression type valve)

[phoenixmac]

Hi,
Ever bought something where you said : "We should pay the extra money and get a better quality item?" (that item being a bathroom faucet). Well, 21 years ago I said that to my wife when she wanted a particular type of faucet in the bathroom. Happy wife, happy life, right?

Well, I went along and now the packing nut on the hot water faucet is stripped and every time you close it it's a fair bit it's not going to close.

Does anyone know where I might find a replacement ? If memory serves it was sold by Besco in Rockland, MA. I think they went out of business about 10-15 years ago.

Thanks!
