It depends how damaged the threads are, but if you don't have a die you can chase over the thread (is it 9/16" unc?), you can get thread restoring files - essentially a toothed file that you gently run along the threads and shave the damaged bits off. It's not ideal, but you've got plenty of threads on a pedal axle and losing a few won't do it any harm or affect safety or performance in my opinion. Obviously, if the crank is in poor condition as well then you'll have less chance of it tightening up completely.
Just an example but this would do the job: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Metric-or-Imp ... 27d833418f
