I know this doesn’t help your current situation, but I have found to preserve my test equipment connectors (who’s connect/disconnect lifetime is limited and well, occasionally one cross threads, etc.) the best preventative measure is to screw a male-female adapter onto the equipment connector and leave it there. That way it is the adapter that takes the abuse in the long run. In the case of the spectrum analyzer, I just keep a DC block connected to it. Double protection.
