Tub spout leaking at the base

I'm trying to determine why my bathtub spout is leaking at the base and running out of things to try.

It's a fairly straightforward slip-on faucet, Riobel 871. I replaced all of the o-rings, I replaced the diverter which wasn't working properly. The only thing I can think of is that the threaded part inside the spout where the slip-on connector screws onto appears to be worn, but it's hard to tell. I'm able to screw it in and it stays in place.

If I turn the water on, with the diverter...
