rear wheel studs 200

I changed to the spare tire the other day due to a flat. After removing the spare I noticed 2 of the wheel studs & the lug nut threads are stripped. The threads on the stud are gummed up about 1/4" from the outside end.

What is the thread size & pitch of these studs? (I can't find my Bentleys right now).

I bought some extra lug nuts but am hoping to just clean up the threads on the studs with a die without having to change them out.

So if anyone knows the thread size it would be much appreciated.

Anyone experience stripped studs like this? The only possible reason I can see is that the wheel for the spare does not have the nice chamfered edge where the conical lug nut seats in. I'm thinking maybe the wheel actually cut into the studs there?

Thanks
