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.

You would have to go to a smaller size you can't just rethread to the 17mm. I would be afraid of it failing when stressed. Not something I personally would mess with to be honest.
Why would it be a warranty repair if you went past their spec? It wasn't defective so will they cover it?
