Whilst I am game to try anything - this is one of the jobs I would get someone in who does it for a living - like a "glow plug man", or "thread doctor", or similar.
Local independent garages may know someone? Some of them sub that type of thing out to avoid ****ing the job up and taking responsibility.
This is my local guy (no good to you but you get the drift)

all good now used insert put lots of grease on router bit caught all the swarff on the bit. used high heat threadlock on insert engine running nice and sweet fingers crossed . time will tell . lesson to be learned dont leave plugs unchanged for 3 years .
