There was one of those same axle rethread tools on ebay last week. May still be there. My threads were also messed up and couldn't thread the nuts back on. Almost bought the tool but finally came up with another plan & passed since I didn't figure I'd get $85 use out of it.

I used a small Dremel grinding wheel on the end thread where someone with a hammer had rolled them over. Once the mashed portion of thread was gone, then was able to get a rethread die on to clean up the remaining length.
