WOW !! A 4 foot extension is a lot of extension. That was far too tight for any bike. Yup, best you get that new axle, nut and washers to fit. The metal itself will be stressed and the threads have suffered terrible abuse. Also give a real close inspection of all the spacers and other fittings. They might have been damaged a bit. I just can't imagine tightening an axle so much.
There is an upside to this though. You have experince of what not to do and the consequences. Glad you were able to get the job done. Carry on.
