I'm pretty sure you could recut the thread with a thread die, and the shaft would still be OK.

I should have taken another picture at a different angle, that squished thread is actually bulging out 5mm! Could theoretically grind it off and retap but for safety I am going with a new driveshaft. The replacement is from a newer car and looks mint so I would just prefer to do that. The damaged driveshaft technically only set me back another $150 so I won't grumble too much I guess.
