Unless there is some serious damage to the tank itself, it defies logic that a valve can not be replaced...this isn't rocket science it's only a tank. Get an opinion from a qualified source.
THIS^^^^^^^^^^
Go to a bulk propane outfit.
Have them replace the shutoff valve
Propane tanks (permanent mount) only have to be replaced when tank has been damaged (gouged, ripped, torn, cracked, smashed or been in a fire).
ALL components on tank (fill valve, relief valve, service valve, fixed level gauge, float gauge etc.) are screwed into tank and can be replaced.
CW and other RV shops may be OK for parts........but for service. Use a real pro.
