Difficult to say without seeing the thread damage. It is possible to buy a "thread die" and "die holder" (handle) once you know the thread size and run the die over the threads to clean them up. If done this several times on various items.
http://www.burntlatke.com/jpg600/thread-die.jpg (first thread die picture I found on google) If the threads are too damaged in one area to allow the nut to tighten, you may be able to use a short stack of washers to move the nut onto a section of threads that are less/undamaged. My front Nitto rack has plenty of extra thread length. Hope this helps, good luck!
