you can go to this link http://www.tippmann.com/pdfs/manuals/98_Custom_Schematics.pd f and find the exact part that you have damaged, go to Tippmannparts.com, and find out how much is the price for that specific part.  Make sure you write down the part number that way it is easier for you to search for that specific item on the website.

you definately have to replace the power tube, you can buy either the shell or the complete tube

Yeah you probably also stripped the tube for the valve.  Check that out and if it is you will need to replace it or the screws will keep falling out.

could i possibly put new threads in the valve that are slightly larger and get new screws?

at this point it cant hurt to try.  you dont need the whole powertube assembly, just the valve.  the powertube has no threads to strip, other than the velocity screw.
