Again, welcome to the club! I can't tell you how many threads I've stripped (2 on my FRS wheel studs) bolts I've snapped (never found out how much those titanium fasteners cost) or parts I've bent. To make an omelette, you gotta break a few eggs.

Are you getting in touch with Bilstein for a replacement? I'd be surprised if they charged much more than $200 for a strut, probably a bit less. While you could get it fixed by a local machine shop like shankenstein describes is be surprised if they could seriously undercut just replacing it.
I shipped it out to FRsport, they offered to help repair/rebuild it for me... (for a price of course, but its cheaper than what you mentioned). I found an old FRS suspension i had layong around to use on the fronts in the meantime.

Ive done a lot of rethreading too, but the location of this made it impossible for my tools to access

FYI ive also contacted Raceng about possibly making custom lowering camber plates, ive seen them state before they can do custom builds if need be.
