or, as I mentioned earlier, put a nut on the rod *before* cutting and
use the nut to smooth out the threads by unscrewing it over the
damaged threads.

Of course, in this case, you might as well leave the end damaged to
make it even harder to get the nut off.

Put the nut on, cut the rod, smear your epoxy on the cut-end threads
and unscrew the nut until jams on the damaged threads.

I always to several nuts on then cut the rod, it usually takes more
than one nut to re-set the thread.
