Thread files will cut serrations pretty quickly. You just need to pick a pitch and slowly cut straight across the sight face keeping repeated cuts in the same grooves. Maybe practice on the edge of a piece of scrap would be useful.
This popped up on Amazon but I expect Brownells or any industrial tool supply will have them as well. https://www.amazon.com/Nicholson-Thread-Restoring-Square-Metric/dp/B000LEGYPK/ref=pd_si...
I only selected this as an example. In fact, I didn't even note the thread pitch so I couldn't say if it was too fine or too coarse.
