Stripped strut rod, need suggestions

I was torquing my ST Coilovers rear to nut to 41 lb ft to fix some clunking noises. One side did it fine, other stripped. KW customer support said it should be 15 ft lbs but I doubt that will help my noises because I fixed front clunk by going beyond their 25 ft lbs front spec. Before resorting to warranty repair which will cost a few hundred, I'm going to get a tool to re-thread it.

Anyone have success re-threading a strut rod before? Anyone happen to know the thread pattern and size for the ST kit? Top nut is 17mm.
