A few years ago I was changing front lower control arms on the missus' LR3 and accidentally damaged the threads on the drive shaft. No way the nut was going back on. I finally just called it a day and left the thing up on jack stands over night.
Following day, after sleeping on it and figuring out how to fix, I went out and cut off the first thread and a half. The driveshaft was shortened by a mm or two but the nut would now go on and thread. Proper torque was achieved and the thing is still that way today.
So yes, walk away when necessary.
