I believe you can just buy a new axle. I do not know what size, though. ---

That only works if the axle is stripped, yoyofoot. If the yo-yo itself is stripped you have to get it tapped to the next size up. ---

Yep, it’s rare for the axle threads to strip since they’re steel. More common for the threads in the aluminum body to be stripped. ---

I have a yoyo with helicoils in them. Those things are sweet. Frank from difeyo did it.
