It sounds like you damaged the female threads. Unfortunately you'll have to send it in to fix. They may just have to clean up the threads with a tap. In an extreme case where the thread is too far gone they might drill out the hole and put in a thread insert like Helicoil. You then tap it out to the right thread size but I've heard that at that point they recommend a new case instead.
