Bought it that way. $25 bucks
If you can find a die that size it might be possible to clean the threads up, but I have no idea what the size and pitch is.Check this listing and see if you can identify it:https://www.kegoutlet.com/how-can-i-tell-what-type-of-posts-will-fit-on-my-corny-keg.htmlCharlie

This is a typical occurrence for stainless steel if not handled properly. You can file it as one brewer suggested, or you can tap it again as another brewer suggested. But the bottom line is the threads are cashed and will never be as strong as they were intended to be.

A jeweler’s file might clean that up.
I have a 10 gallon corny. Unlike my other kegs, the gas and liquid sides have different threads. And there's no other indication of which side is which. I can see someone who didn't know that just bearing down and wondering why the post won't go on.
