It's not a good idea to thread (tap) such a thin piece of tubing because you'll only get one turn or less of thread. That's VERY weak.
As Pete mentioned, you would be better to drill a clear hole through and put a nut on the other side. That doesn't work if you're trying to clamp something that's sliding inside the tube. In that case you'd have to weld a nut to the outside of the tube.
See if you can get better photos and description of what the task actually is, and we can better help you.
