I don't think Ruger glued your barrel on. I do believe Ruger offered you a rifle and you refused that remedy.
Ruger should now wash their hands of you.

George, did you even think for one moment what you are saying???
Your thinking is:
The gunsmith sent the rifle in for a replacement, You think that Ruger offered us a replacement and we refused the replacement??? To what end? My friend has hundreds of dollars invested in Creedmoore dies and 6.5 bullets, they are paper weights now.
What ever you get from this, just remember that if you ever take a barrel off a Ruger, you can go through the same crap as we have gone through.
Manufacturing tolerances and/or material quality was out of spec on this 6.5 Creedmoore Rifle...this is why the threads stripped. Gauling on stainless is a common problem.
