you've boggled the threads in the crank. so to fix a shop would need to do a helicoil. essentially this is drilling out the boggled threads, retreading for an insert, install the insert which has the correct pedal threads.

looking at you pictures I would suggest finding a replacement cranks set and ensuring that you have a right and a left pedal
