If it is the cap that's stripped and not the leg, just pick up some new ones. It's a risk riding it with it stripped because if the cap shoots off, your fork spring will follow and collapse the leg.

Yep,do what glide said.Once the cap is stripped,there is no material to rethread.
Make sure that the tube is not stripped also.
