injector issue

I have a 1988 f350 with a 7.3 idi and the thread on the injector is pretty stripped, is there anything I can do to save it or is it going to have to be replaced? Thanks

The only thing I know of is to chase the treads with a die, but I don't know how bad they are. a new injector is only 40 or 50 bucks.

The thread maker is like 20 bucks at AutoZone, and the injectors very with pressure, so I might just have to go to a junkyard and pull one, thanks for input
