Ken, that sounds like it might be borderline on the safety issue... depends, I'd suggest taking it to someone local who works with this level of bicycle issues and get them to look at it... or take a picture and post it where we can look... seeing the threads from the inside sounds a bit worrisome... depending on just what you mean by that, it might be do not ride that, or... ride but know what to watch out for as signs of imminent failure...
