[QUOTE="bombastinator2, post: 23660609, member: 414823"] That’s called cross threading. I after it’s been done once it’s a massive pain to make it stop happening regularly. To the point that if electricians do it to a screw they generally throw the screw away. Retapping is an option. Those will be some big taps though. There is also going in with a jeweler’s loupe and trying to straighten the damaged threads. More time consuming and less reliable. You don’t have to buy a tap though. One way to prevent it is to screw in the wrong direction for a fractional turn (or even a couple of turns) to get the threads to seat correctly before you screw. Once it happens though it’s generally bad things. Fine threads are easier to cross-thread than coarse threads. I was afraid I would cross thread the fill port on my pulse2. Finally did it though.
