Does the field strip screw threads look mangled up? Can you get the field strip screw out of the hole? If you have it out, get a 10-32 tap and run that through the valve to chase the threads and they should be fine. If the threads on the field strip screw look bad, you should order a new one. If they look repairable, get a die and chase those threads too and it should be fine.

Also, don't loan stuff to anyone. I hate to seem like a jerk, but the majority of the time when you loan things to other people it comes back with something messed up. Only you know your equipment and how to take care of it. Most people show little respect for stuff when it's not theirs.
