It turns out the sealing issue wasn't because of the thread breaking. Some previous owner had failed to properly make sure the injector seals.

The threads were black and under the heat shield it was curved and I tried to correct it but because of the piece breaking off, the threads gave up and the head is probably ruined or requires expensive treatment because I just couldn't get the mating surface straight.

So I pulled the head today and borrowed my dad's car. I'm going to part out a junkyard car and take the head from one of those next week. I will definitely make sure the injectors come out without breaking anything this time.
