Angry PLEASE HELP!

I was installing my springs and some how the front right tie rod end got stripped( The first 2-3 threads on it) and it is not taking the bolt. My car is in the air and it is dark now. What can I do? Do they have some sort of re threader? or Am I going to have to buy a new tie-rod end? HELP! I'm so pissd right now, I'm such a dumby! How much is a tie rod end?

You have to run a thread die over it to re-cut the threads. I forgot what size the thread is though...
