<< Anyway, I know I saw an aftermarket bb for sale online that was made to use in a frame with ruined bb threads. There were no pictures, but the copy said it had some sort of expanding shell that tightened up in the frame, no threads necessary. It may have been on the Cambria web site. They have a lot of weird stuff. I'll take a look and if I find it I will post an address. >>

The classic solution is the Mavic BB which doesn't use threads but a chamfered surface on the BB shell. Tough to find today, however.
