Trying to run:
gam config num_theads 20 redirect csv ./acls_external1-20-26.csv multiprocess csv Testpre-stepGAM.csv gam user "~Owner" print filelist select "~fileid" norecursion fields id,name,mimetype,basicpermissions pm notdomain newvisions.org em pm type anyone em pmm or pmfilter oneitemperrow

But getting error: ERROR: Invalid choice (num_thread)

Removing the num_theads 20 and the command runs. Is num_thread deprecated?

Your email mentioned num_theads and num_thread. The actual config option is num_threads with an r and an s.

You are correct, I missed that it was misspelled, which was the cause.
