Lots of good suggestions here already.
You can also try a small angular file that is close on the thread pitch and gently go around the shaft filling it back into shape while following the thread.
If you can't find a file to match, take a fine hacksaw blade and grind the edges to suit your pitch. Don't be shy to try, you would be amazed on what can be done with a file and hacksaw with a bit of patients. I have chased galled spindles on transports with this method when a thread file was not available with fantastic results. Just take your time and go easy, it can be done.
Good luck
