crank pulley problem I stripped the first few threads in the crank 
. After taping it out it seems to be alright.
My question is should I be worried about stripping them even more when I install the pulley?
If so is there any other way to install the pully on the crank.
Any ideas?

Make sure you run the old bolt all the way in and out a few times to make sure it's not going to get ugly.
I would put the pulley in the oven for a while before you try to install it with the threaded rod/washers/nut as mentioned above.
After you get it fully seated, remove the nut/rod and install the new bolt. You might want to be a little less crazy on the new bolt considering the lack of threads.

Being supertight while cold preloads it so it'll stay tighter at operating temperature.
