: anyways), and suddenly I can't screw in the crown to close it!
: It feels like it's about to catch but it just doesn't.

: Could it be that the thread is stripped!?

: Does anyone have any experience with this and what do you all think

: take it into the Facility. Or should I trust an independant?

: Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

: Thanks,

I would take it to a a watchmaker you trust for him to examine and diagnose . . . . it you don't have one, go to the facility with your warranty paperwork.

It is certainly possible for it to be stripped, although unlikely unless it has been used a great deal. But, errors and product faults can occur.
