Bikes: Too many. Giant Trance X 29, Surly Midnight Special get the most time.

How messed up is it? I would certainly try to tap out the threads first. Other than that, doing a helicoil repair really isn't particularly hard though many shops don't have the kits, but I don't know if the metal insert in those cranks is substantial enough to install a helicoil. There is a zero percent chance SRAM will officially recommend repair, but that doesn't have much relationship to whether it'll work or not.
