Stripped thread on brakeline fix?

Finally got just about everything back together and this is one of the last things i needed to put back in and 2 out of the three went on fine and the last one won't thread into the whole. It seems like its kind of stripped a little but it won't catch at all now and go in. Any suggestions on how I would fix this on the ABS control module? don't know how I would be able to replace the nut thingy on the end of the line..

i have the tools to flare it but no one carries this stupid flare end except for chevy probably and this is the only thing holding me back from starting my car im so pissed. The threads aren't that bad it just seems the tip is worn a little and will just keep turning, it won't actually thread in. Is there anyway to force it in?

Don't know if you've solved your problem, but this may help people using the search feature. Autozone carries premade brake lines in assorted lengths. They will have 3 different styles of premade lines, European, Domestic, and Japanese. Use the Japanese lines of the same size and they fit perfectly. I've been using them without issues.

If the really aren't that bad you might be able to dress the leading threads up using one of those small triangular files.
Good Luck
