If the threads are stripped i would replace it instead of reparing it. It will save you trouble in the long run. If it is a soldered fitting hopefully they did it right and used a male iron pipe thread fitting. If they did not i would invest a couple bucks and have someone solder on the male iron pipe fitting so you can change the hose bib easier in the future. I would personally steer clear of pvc on a copper line. It is accident waiting to happen if you ever hit it or it freezes. It is easier to use however.
