I ordered a new bolt, but my fear is that I damaged the threads in the crankshaft. I assume I can chase the threads if that's the case but it's not something I have any experience with. Any suggestions?

Been there and done that before a long time ago. Chase it with a bottom tap with the correct thread pitch. Problem solved.
