Default [HELP] Hose bibb threads stripped on outdoor faucet.

So, never thought much about this faucet before - it always sprayed water all over the place when the faucet got turned off. I attributed that to the little anti-siphon attachment that was on it. My wife finally got at me to fix it, and I noticed that the threads on the hose bibb were almost completely stripped. I am now wondering what my options are for replacing this. I have done a cursary look, but I am hoping that there is a way of fixing it so that I don't have to mess around with the stucco. I noticed the hose bibb appears to be threaded to the piece that joins with the tubing (PolyB, unfortunately). While I didn't go crazy trying to loosen the hose bibb from that, it was quite securely attached.

Below are some photos. The second photo is with the faucet pulled out as far as it would go without yanking really hard at it.






What would be a good way to proceed?
