Usually it's just someone has either cross-threaded or over-tightened. You could always get the thread retapped and use a larger bolt

I thought about that possibility but i think i would then need to also drill the adjusting curved plate (that comes with campy der) for the larger bolt that attaches to the outside of the braze on and possibly also adjust the braze on mount itself on a new frame to take the larger bolt. And umm thats not gonna happen. Even if i could get away without touching the frame it just seem like a lot to get done when i wont be able to do it myself. Likely just easier to get another even tho they are hard to source.

Ive never used a helicoil so have no experience but that is likely what it was. Just have a hard time figuring out how the front der threads got so bad that one had to use one. Bit weird but i guess it happens.
Was actually the front der and not the clamp that had the torn threads unfortunately.
