Need Help - Advice Please

During the suspension DIY I didn't realize I had ****ed up the threads on the tie rods, any advice on how to fix this or am I doomed to take it to someone?

danscreations is an unknown quantity at this point
Solutions:
- new tie rod end
- tap and die set (to re-thread it)
- steady hand an good eyes and cut of straight off where good treads start

*next time you need to remove them get a tie rod puller or screw the nut on 1/2 way or more to protect the threads and hit the nut.
