You've stripped the threads off. There is no practical way to fix that
except by replacing the threaded rods.

If you galled the threads so the nut wouldn't thread on, that'd be
different. That could be cleaned out with a thread file.


If he is sure it will never need to be taken apart again, a couple spot
welds should work.....
