Rob,
    I would imagine that trying to cut new threads into the neck would 
weaken it severely, increasing the chance that it will not 
survive.  Sherwood makes there standard K valve available for 1/2 pipe fit 
threads but it is quite expensive.  Save the money and the hassle and just 
get another tank.
