One of my nuts from the OP to the front pipe were cross-threaded as well. I'm starting to wonder if the factory does this on purpose so that they'll know if the cat in the front pipe was messed with or not. Either that, or the guy doing the assembly on that part just sucks. I had to Dremel the nut off. . took like 5 cutting discs to finally get it off. Luckily I already had a Perrin OP that I was installing as well.
You should be able to remove the stud from the OP afterwards and replace it with a new one from Pep Boys, Autozone, Advanced Auto, OEM, etc.
