Try Rob Whitton or Dai... they will no doubt be able to help with a shaft and just re[lace it.

And dont be hard on yourself. I have worked on cars for 40 + years including running my own business (working in modern junk sadly). Anyone who states they have never made a mistake when repairing vehicles is either a liar or oblivious they have done it.

I personally would ony re thread if you are 100% the nut will be secure and not loose and gripping. If any of this is not in place or you are unsure then buy new or used along with a new oil seal. and check and or replace the wheel bearing whilst you are at it. The process is shown brilliantly on You Tube Amazon Cars - wheel bearing replacement.
