I’d chase the threads on the prechamber. And be prepared to have to cut new ones and use some kind of adapter to hammer it out.

One would think that there is a Mercedes special tool out there for the stripped thread issue. But maybe not.
It is hard to pick what to do when you are not there.
In theory if the threads were nonexistent if your adapter has long enough threaded area someone could get a skinny arc welding rod and weld it to the lip of the prechamber.
The other option is to rethread the inside of the chamber and make a puller adapter to thread into that.
Another option is removing the cylinder head and driving the chamber out.
