You could try some vasaline on the threads to see if that will provide ease. Otherwise running a 3/8-11 tap will get the job done. Pete made excellent cues for many years. I loved his shaft taper. I stopped selling them as a dealer about 2 years ago.

I bought a nice snake wood and ebony cue from Pete Omen around 2000 or 2001. I got out of playing pool several years ago, so this has been sitting in my safe all these years. I got back in to shooting recently, and I wanted to use this cue. But it seems the shafts have dried out with a little shrinkage. One shaft screws on fairly well, just a little "tightness". The other shaft will only go on about 3/4 of the way and the threads are too tight to get it all the way on. I tried finding Pete online, but it seems he's out of the business now. So I'm looking for advice on how to fix the shafts. I believe it's a 3/8 - 11 thread, but I'm not certain. I'll attach a photo. If anyone knows for sure what the thread is, and can I buy a tap and run it down the threads, do you think that will open them back up?
