    It doesn't exist commercially but if you really want to go that way Schrader thread taps are available (try ebay) so you could drill an existing nut to the tapping diameter and make your own.
    4-way valve stem tools cost less than $2. It amazes me why some people
    want to reinvent some things.

    7.7mm x 32tpi. Decidedly non-standard among modern threaded
    things. Probably common in the 1890s but we've had several
    thread standard systems come and go since then

    Some guys charge a lot for them: https://straight-eight.com/product/schrader-valve-stem-nut/

    others less: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265274080325?hash=item3dc3913c45:g:gdAAAOSwjmZhHVDo&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8PxCVluo3RrMeRqADHNebdyLNKx0l%2FDEQoFS9V3r65gIPj8Ubp6MP3lNHVMPI8g9OVE7VU0ZykyxdtqHpzHFpbZdIe0HbjKPE1twwtiZlDyqf1qiOgcc6yTnfRfgq%

    Is that the standard nut used on motorcycle valve stems and tubes? A bike
    shop would probably give you one. New tubes come with two.
