Default I screwed up....lookin' for some tips

Alright, heres the deal. I have an Axial .28 spec 1s. I pulled a bone head move and forgot to thread lock the screw holding my CB and bushing in place. Sure as s#@t, it backed out while running at the beach. The tranny on my Savage held the screw in place with a few threads left in the crank. Now the first few threads in my crank shaft are stripped and I can't get another screw to start. I need some helpful tips from my fellow hobbyists to rectify my problem. Does any body know of a tap and die set available for a small, metric set up? Any quick fix tips? Help me out! I don't want to have to buy another crank!

Thanks and Happy Bashing,

D.I.

I picked up a full tap & die set for SAE and metric off of eBay for $20 shipped, just an idea.
