Depends on how bad the threads are....you may be able to just use a tap and die set to clean the threads up (I would advise that you have it done by a professional, or at least someone with plenty of experience).

If they are bad enough, then the crank is prolly junk. You can't exactly helicoil your crank or something like that.
