I posted previously about fixing an issue with my main drain. I finally got the threads that were stuck in there out, but now I have another issue. As far as I'm seeing, this is a 1 3/4" ID (2 1/2 inch OD) drain fitting. I cannot find anything online that would fit but maybe I'm missing something. Any thoughts on what I can connect to this? People suggested a donut/plunger fitting but I don't see one that fits 1 3/4".

In a dishwasher drain installation, I noticed there was a leak coming from the bottom of a fernco fitting. Taking the fernco out uncovered a crushed copper drain pipe going into a threaded bushing, threaded into the main drain of my house. After removing the copper the bushing was attempted to be removed, only for the entire top of the bushing to get crushed and the threads to be stuck inside. I attempted to cut the threads out with no success (I'm attempting to not cut the threads inside the drain pipe).

I attempted to get a furnco coupling over the opening but the drain opening is sloped so the fernco fitting just slides up and off.

What are my options here? Am I looking at a massive job of a whole construction crew pulling this pipe out of my foundation and yard? It's run directly to a city sewer drain after about 80 feet of my yard.

Edit for clarification, that is not copper in the pipe, that is the remaining threads of a brass bushing stuck in the pipe. The copper is fully removed.
