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.

X2! Actually did this on a tank that I had, the screw was stripped, had the tank checked out and it pressure tested fine.
