Did you use the right size bite? Or maybe a dull tap.

Sounds like the drill bit that you used is too small , go larger 1 at a time till the first few threads catch with the tap , and use the pipe tap only , and back it out frequintly and try the fitting for the pyro , you always make the hole bigger but you do not want to try to make it smaller.
