Good news!
I got my new shocks that I'm going to use (Monroe P/N 37114), so I ground down the end of the shaft a bit so a nut could make it past, and cleaned up the threads and it looks like there's still enough threads left! No need to cut a size smaller or replace the mount.
I should have tried this way sooner.![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Here is the test fit and there's threads showing it's not even tight yet. Because of the (obviously) limited threads, I will use one of those mechanical (all metal) lock nuts.
