Here's some examples, but we need to know the thread pitch as well:

32mm X 1 5 Metric Right Hand DIE M32 X 1 5mm Pitch | eBay

NEW 32mm 32 X 2 Metric Right Hand DIE M32 X 2 0 Pitch | eBay

Or how about a thread file:

Jawco 155 NU Thred Thread Restoring File SET SAE Metric Made IN USA Rethread | eBay

Have you crossthreaded the nut, or have the threads picked up from partial seizure?

I would look for something like this Nes Technologies - External Thread Repair Tools

Try Northern Tool or maybe Grainger's. Maybe even Summit because they have lots of tools not shown on their web site. They can sometimes find surprising things.

Another option is to use a thread file like this:

Threads can be cleaned up quite easily with a simple triangle shape common file,the angles of 2 sides of the file matches the thread angle of 60 degrees, sometimes you start the repair with a half round file because of its tighter angle and finish with a triangle file.

Depending on the damage of course .

Thanks to all for the info, I cleaned up the threads with a triangle file and slowly worked the nut back and forth with some anti seize compound on the threads. It took a little while but everything worked out ok.
