stick with a-head FFS.
You can put threads on an alu steerer, but you really don't want to. Steel takes a thread much better than alu, your really at risk of it failing pretty rapidly. Also the person you borrow the dies off to do it probably won't be happy as alu really wears the tools compared to steel.
If you MUST have a quill steerer, likely easiest to get another fork /steerer thats already 1" threaded, then if you like it, have it resprayed to match frame
