It can be fixed as I usually created a new thread and use a bigger crank extractor to removed it.
Any decent LBS should have such tools.
Done it numerous time due to old cheap chainset getting its thread stripped easily, save customer having to buy new chainset.

So they just have to pay for the boring, threading and the new larger extractor? Seems like a new crank would be cheaper ;-)

Tx, will give them a call.
Seems once there's some damage to threads, it's a swiss cheese job from there. Despite best efforts & thread cleaning, just won't go in straight. Well I've a spare crank set so all good.

Sort of beginners mistake you rather do on cheap cranks O_O Park tool has some tool worth a try...
