Is the axle stripped or the threaded hole? If it’s the axle take it to the hardware store and find a set screw that fits. If you can’t get a set screw of the right size buy a regular screw and cut the head off…

I really don’t know what the thread size is. The 10 mm you refer to is the length, not the thread size. Thread size is what matters.

Yes, with the proper tools.
