My Block Ruined? (Head studs gone bad)

After trying to clean out my block multiple times to get the studs in evenly and many failed attempts I get them pretty close so I figured it should be ok

I get the head on and begin torquing the nuts done, 20lbs went fine, then on 40 lbs I started on the center one and it started getting tight and then all the sudden started free spinning. I turned it a couple more times to see if anything happened and nothing, so I put and allen head in and took the stud out.

This metal shaving was twirled all in the threads..



Now I tried putting the stud back in and it seems to thread in fine but I don't know what to do. Any experience? I paid a lot to have this block refinished it's going to really suck if the stud holes are toast or should I rethread it back in and try again?

arp btw
