tap and die

As others have said you want to chase it. Just gently bends the threads back without removing any metal. Real taps or dies will trash the threads. Also lots of oil!
 
Only one thing to make sure and that is what you have for thread pitch. UNC is 1-1/8 - 7, but there is also an "8-Thread" basically UNC keeps getting less threads/inch beyond 1" diameter, "8 thread" stays at 8 threads/inch for sizes above 1". It's not very common, but it can mess things up if you get it wrong
 
Myself when looking for a tap i do not have i have two places to go , one is Ohio Drill about 9 miles from me or I D K supply about 26 miles from me . If you want GOOD then you go with a High speed steel tap , ya want so so then a carbon steel tap.
