However, once you had them rethreaded, that probably ruined the caliper for good. You could have the hole drilled out and a helicoil or time-sert installed though.
Get an M10x1.0 nut from Home Depot or Lowes and see if the banjo bolt smoothly screws into it. If it does, that is not your problem. If it doesn't, you'll have something more to present to them.

Mike thank you i was actually thinking of getting a rethread kit with a helicoil. Only thing is im afraid that wont stay esp with the pressure of brake fluid going through the line. I appreciate the advice i will let you know how it goes if i go that route
