You might get lucky with what they call a chase. Machine shops and some parts stores carry chases that you can use to clean up threads.

I think the next best thing it to try and re-tap it.

Past that, search a salvage yard or local parts trucks for a used stock replacement.

New or used as stated stub shaft time. No way you'll find a chase threader for cheaply or quickly for that size.

That stub axle is trashed. Do NOT re-use it. Good way to watch your front tire pass you....
