RE: glue in inserts
An #8-32 tap will work and cleanup the threads for ya and finish the cut if they are not complete.
Just forceing a tip trough with pliers will more likely damage what threads are there but sometimes you can get lucky.
So run down to the hardware store and get yourself one ,
it's a handy tool to have in your archery box.

RE: glue in inserts
I've got this exact same problem. Ordered a dozen from an online store...I was able to screw in a field point in six arrows and the other six...forget about it! Tried several methods to try and get rid of the glue that was not cleaned up, but no dice. In hindsight, I should have ordered bare shafts and done everything myself.
Does anyone have a tip on getting the inserts out w/out hurting the arrow?
