You just need to get the thread in the crank 'helicoiled' - basically involves drilling it out oversize, tapping a new thread, then fitting a special insert that takes it back down to the original size. A decent LBS should be able to do it, search the forum for helicoil or some such, it's been mentioned before and someone got it done free or at least very cheaply.
