Forcing a good ½ nut over a bad screw will result in a bad ½ nut.

I would not do that, you may damage the nut. Although I don't have a metal hardness tester, I suspect the nut is softer steel than the feed screw. Working on a Home phonograph, I once tried to align the metal flat spring that holds the feed nut. I didn't get it quite perpendicular to the carriage and feed screw and while playing a record, it stripped away ALL the fine threads from the feed nut. I found a bunch of tiny slivers that had been threads of the nut. The feed screw was perfectly okay.
