[Tigers] damaged threads

The threads on the center stud of my windshield are damaged.  I can tighten
the nut so far, but then it slips.  A friend suggested I rethread with a
slightly smaller metric size.  Any better ideas?  I already tried coating it
with JB Weld and rethreading, but that wasn't strong enough to hold any
pressure.  Thanks.
