Rethreading a hole is pretty easy. Since your JP, you should be able to get a 4mm tap. It's wide enough that it will make nice new threads.
Except you mention 6/32. 32 is the threads per inch. 10/24 is the usual small thread rough thread per inch. 32 is the fine pitch.
I remember reading more than once that a xx mm size works just like a 6/32. It messes the threads up a teeny bit, works fine on rads and other thin soft metals. As long as it's not something that needs redone all the time.
Since your a modder, you should look into a small tap set of metric and inches. It will help in the long run.
Love your work, your pics.
