The brake drum/hub is splined and it is not unusual to strip one. The axle should be fine, clean it with a wire brush just to remove the metal particles. Lube the splines so you can get the hub off in the future,install new/used hub and torque to spec. Search BGW for hub replacement if you don't have torque spec. Scottb posted it last week. The splines are the weak link and will keep you from tearing up more expensive parts in side the rear end.
