Bring to your bike shop. If there's enough meat on there they can re-tap them.
Otherwise...bmx frame or hard tail?
if a hardtail get some deep outboard bearing cups like howitzer or diabolus. This would imply you buying new cranks. but those cups have longer than normal thread so it would end up saving your frame.

hard tail, i can take it in, but any other suggestions?
Ehhh well. Stock bike? or custom rig?
This happened to me. I was riding my enduro and at the time it was running shimano LX with a damn plastic cup which broke ofcourse and ripped all the threads out. Specialized replaced the frame no problem.
So if its a stock rig, see if you can get a warranty. Otherwise, what I said before. This is just from experience

its a stock frame but i bought it used, its not the threads on the frame that are messed up, at least i don't think so but where the teeth on the park tool go in to take the bb off is all messed up and i can't get the bb out, not sure how clear that is but i tried.
Take it to your LBS. They have ways of getting that stuff out, even if it means breaking out a pair of vicegrips, they usually have the experience to get it done. I know at my LBS (I work there) theres this older mechanic who works there in his freetime (probably around the age of 45-50) and he is the "go-to" guy only because he has had 30+ years wrenching under his belt. He can always figure a way to get something out, etc.
reverse threading ftl
are you saying the drive side's reverse threaded?
Please tell me you removed non-driveside cup first??
And non-driveside is reverse. Driveside is normal.
except for some european road frames.
yea, i removed the non-drive side cup first but it was normally threaded so would that mean the drive side is reverse thread?
