No, I have not tried a thread file.
A little more info and a photo:
When I removed the lines from the expansion valve after the failed pressure test, I neglected to mention that the line I overtightened was loose. When I say I overtightened it, what really happened is the fitting "spun" a little on my last turn of the wrench. I knew I had screwed it up but did the pressure test anyway.
Thanks for the quick responses! I hope the photo helps.
P.S. I know the O-Rings for the evaporator lines are missing in the photo, they were properly installed when we did the pressure test.
