If the threads are mushroomed beyond reason you'll most likely need another shaft. The industrial repair is to cut the mushroomed section off flush with the wheel and pull it. In roller applications I've needed to use a lathe and counterbore the shaft so the gear or bearing can be pulled off. At that point the shaft is getting stubbed regardless. On an auto I'm sure it could be done by a DIY'er with the right tooling but not be economical if you are paying for the service.
