Is the frame steel? If so you could (carefully) fill with brass and re-tap. Have done it before with success. If not steel you could try applying a threadable epoxy compound. There are epoxies on the market that can hold screw threads, so you may be able to find something with sufficient strength.

>Oh Yikes! HELP! Does anyone have an idea for a fix for stripped Bottom Bracket threads. Italian BB, non-drive side. Threads are hugely damaged and most likely will not be usable even with a re-tap. Any ideas?????
