looks like the threaded shaft is stripped, you can try a rethread to see if that works. If the section where the shaft screws into is stripped as well you can try a thread repair kit. But if both are stripped you are pretty much screwed (pun intended).

Lol!
I just finished repointing 2 of 3 that's why I'm very eager to find a solution to this for the last dart.
Yes, really got screwed on this. Thanks uncle poop!

If it is only the thread on the main bolt that is worn out you should be able to buy a bolt, the right size Allen key for the bolt head and some thread-lock for the nut that fits into the moving section from any decent engineering building material retailer. Here in the UK i could sort this in an hour mate.

Take it to almost any mechanic shop, either the large nut or the large threaded portion (bolt) is stripped), for any shop that is an easy fix.

Machine shops are closed. Labor day today! I can't even take off the main bolt.

To take the main bolt out, you have to drill out the little pin that goes through that big nut. Then it should be very easy to replace as long as the bar on top is not stripped. If it is only the bolt you should be able to find a replacement at Home Depot probably with a hex head so it will be even easier to change points using a rachet.
