you could possibly take the nut to an engineer ,find the tap to fit the nut that will tell you what die to use

I assume you mean the thread at the top - that secures the steering wheel ? How did it get damaged ??? Probably best to just carefully correct it with a triangular Swiss file. Die or die-nut for that thread will be hard to find!
