You must grease the tap flutes to catch the metal shaving as the tap cuts them, removing the tap several times to clean and regrease.? Then install the Heil Coil or Keensert for new threads.? If you bring the cylinder up of the exhaust stroke with the valve open you can then blow out any particles that might have fallen into the cylinder.? Done this many times in the past. Looks like it was either left loose or overtightened and pulled the threads out.? Most people should really use a torque wrench when installing spark plugs as they just don't have the feel from years of experience. Good luck!? Easy fix really.

I should have been more specific. I want to repair the shield only. The spark plug socket seems fine. I reinstalled a new plug and it tightened fine, ran the engine up to full power plug stayed in fine.
