Reply With Quotetry getting a tap and die set and try to retap the threads, if that doesnt work, im not sure, you might need a new rear bearing. You should be relatively safe driving on 4 lugs for awhile though.

id try a thread chaser before using a tap, tap's are for cutting and will remove metal, a chaser will smooth out the threads there
