What is the purpose of a stripped crank arm and how can it be repaired or replaced?
A stripped crank arm is a crank arm that has damaged threads, making it difficult to attach to the bike's bottom bracket. The purpose of a stripped crank arm is to connect the pedal to the bike's drivetrain. To repair or replace a stripped crank arm, you can use a helicoil kit to rethread the damaged area or simply replace the crank arm with a new one.
Can a bike pedal be fixed if thread has been stripped?
If it's the pedal that's been damaged there's no fix that's as cheap and simple as replacing the pedal. But usually it's the crankarm that's damaged. The right side crank has a fairly common thread, and can be repaired with a heli-coil insert. The left side has a left-hand thread, and the only ones likely to have the tools to repair that is a bicycle store. If it's a department store bike replacing the crank might be a cheaper option.
Why won't the bike pedal screw in properly?

What is the purpose of a bike pedal reverse thread and how does it affect the installation and removal of pedals on a bicycle?
The purpose of a bike pedal reverse thread is to prevent the pedal from unscrewing while riding. This means that the left pedal has a reverse thread, so it tightens in the opposite direction compared to the right pedal. This affects the installation and removal of pedals on a bicycle because it requires turning the left pedal counterclockwise to tighten it, and turning the right pedal clockwise to tighten it. This can be confusing for some people, but it ensures that the pedals stay securely attached to the bike during use.
