If it was me I would use some sort of sanding drum or hole saw with sand paper attached to drill out the threads. I was able to just drill it out on 1/2" stuff but have never tried it on the larger scale
I use my die grinder with a metal bur bit, zips them out in seconds just have to be careful not to go to far or it will be to big to fit the pipe.

This project needs some progress first before pictures. Hope to start the plumbing this week now that I have the proper gate valves I ordered.

Managed to get some of the overflow plumbing done tonight while I only had the complete use of one shoulder, stressed the right shoulder to much working & now it's EXTREMLY painful. Finish it up tomorrow night & take a few pics.
