Maybe the slicer you're using is doing something odd.
Keep in mind that if the filament string looks pulled in a full thread, a toothed thread with the same settings will be even weaker. In such cases it will change the result to localized sagging areas, where the structural element is just the start/end of each tooth.
A screw, even plastic one, will easily self-thread into the thin amount of plastic remaining, but that doesn't mean that the thread works as intended structurally.
If you have issues with smaller threads my reccomendation is to print an undersized cylinder and use a tap for best results, or just slightly undersize the hole and self-thread instead.
