napa, and harbor freight both sell a spark plug thread tap,

just re -tap the threads and start the engine after squirting in a bunch of oil into that cylinder without replacing the plug, the engine starts and makes a smokey & noisy mess blowing the oil out but in under 1 minute the threads are blown totally clear if there was any chips, then just stop and replace the missing plug, if the threads are real bad
