Why maybe. Why maybe. Let me climb out of my box.
Why not clock the top collar and drill and tap all new threads. Split the dif. on the span.
Make a cone of something to catch the shavings. Spin the cone tight to insert. Open up the chute. Catch and remove.
Stiff wire on the outside of the cone may allow enough of a bend in it to provide happpinesss.
Cheers,
GFS
