Not just you. I had to cut one a stronglight crankset off a bike due to sripped threads from the self extractor dust caps.
Buy a crankpuller and bin the self extracting caps. You can use an old spoke cut down and bent into a U shape - insert into the holes of the dust cap and twist to remove them..

Definitely would have done that as I have a puller but already ruined the threads haha. No biggie I'll just ride it til the bb goes then replace the whole lot. What a shit component. I emailed px about it. Maybe they will replace it.

That's what I did. I'm concerned the puller will also just pull out as the threads get destroyed once the inner pin is pressed into the bottom bracket axle.

Cranky
Agreed. Risers rule. I've put some mudguards on this thing and a few other practical bits. One thing I've found is the bolts and self x-tractor bit on the stronglight crankset is soft as butter. I was backing out the NDS crank arm and the extractor bit just popped out and stripped part of the threads on the crankarm. Or maybe it's just me. Thinking of putting a different crankset on.
