If this part was stainless on stainless, and you've galled the threads, it's pretty much pooched. You have actually transferred material from one part to the other - even if you can clean one part up, the other is reduced, and probably weakened, as RG said.
My guess is a replacement is required for reliablity.
Before you decide to go without, there are lots of other styles of backstay adjusters....
