It has to be retapped, you can drill a new hole into it that is bigger. Requires a thicker axle afterward, and you probably have to know what you’re doing ---

How long have you had the throw? I suggest contacting who you purchased the yoyo from if you believe it was not your fault the yoyo was stripped. Could try the manufacturer as well. ---

> [@JustYoYo](#): > > any way to fix a throw with a striped axle? depends if the threads are stopped or if it’s just the axle. Cause if it’s an axle one then you can just buy a new axle. ---

Landon Balk is really good. You did a good job with contacting him. If you texted instead of emailed him, try emailing. He’s usually pretty good at getting to those. I, myself, can not do it, sorry. But, I am trying to help, so good luck. ---
