This is what I did but I didn't have any difficulty. I also used a very large wrench so I was able to apply a lot of torque to the tie rod. I also didn't have any issues with damaged threads as mentioned in the original post.
The purpose of the lock nut is simply to hold the tie rod in place so that it doesn't walk its way in towards the car, correct? What I really need to focus on is breaking the tie rod free correct?

If that's the case, I may borrow a big pipe from work and put it over my vice grips. Do it similar to flywheel nut...though, hopefully having to use less torque :P
