Bob LaRosa gives us a demonstration on stripped thread repair. Form A Thread from Loctite makes it an easy fix. When an expensive component has a stripped thread there is no need to run out and get a new one. Loctite has a great product to make the repair and keep that component in service. Expensive or not, why replace when you can repair?
Loctite® Form-A-Thread® Stripped Thread Repair, makes reliable thread repairs without drills, taps, tools, or inserts. Restores worn, stripped or damaged threads and eliminates future corrosion, galling, seizing, and rust. Allows up to 128 ft. lbs. of torque between -65°F to 300°F.

would it work on a small partially stripped thread? the shank is probably about 4mm
Hi Peter. We always suggest, at least, giving it a try. In most cases, you have nothing to lose. If it doesn’t work out, you will have the leftover product available for another time.
