Do you mean you can’t tighten the lock ring? Threads are proposed stripped. Freehub bodies are usually manufacturer specific, what kind of hub is it?
So, are you certain it’s the freehub? Your cassette looks very very wornÂ
Bro your cassette is toast!
First try the slippage on a biggest cassette’s cog. I guess this one is less worn out. If it doesn’t help you either need a new chain (+casette + maybe front sprockets) or to look inside of a freehub, there may be too much dirt and grease. You can order a special key to open the freehub body on AliExpress or make your own with angle grinder and old wrench head. Shimano freehubs need a repair every 5K km in harsh conditions
