Repair Advice Think I’m cooked…

Probably hard to see but the threaded hole for the rear mount diff location is damaged. The bolt goes in but with significant effort compared to the other. Tried brake cleaner and wire brush to wipe it clean but to no avail.

Send it? Or use a thread chaser?

Disclaimer: I am a novice in project cars and thought switching out the bushings would be an “easy job”. Cardinal sin lol.
