The photo is not the best, but looks like almost all of the damage is in the nut castle part. If the threads are damaged at and toward the outside of the cotter pin hole they have little to no effect on the final torque and strength of the nut. If the threads are damaged very fare beyond the hole (towards the car) then it becomes a different matter. This type of thread damage has been repaired may time with great success, just depends on the extent of the damage.
