I am able to allow the controller to figure out my P word for threading. However, I then have to manually enter the numbers into the program from my macro variable. Since the P word cannot contain decimal and has to be 6 digits long. Is there a way to allow the controller to strip the decimals or even trim digits off of the number so I may just use the macro and not have to retype the P word each time I change threading jobs???

Perhaps:

P[ROUND[#530*100000]]

I used #530, but your variable is prolly different

In many cases, the control does "implicit" rounding wherever a real number is specified in place of an integer (through a macro variable).
For example, if
#1 = 1
#2 = 1.
#3 = 1.0
then G#1, G#2 and G#3 are all equivalent to G01, even though G1.0 is illegal.

I have also verified on 0i control that
if #4 = 3.5, then M#4 is interpreted as M04, and #[#4] is interpreted as #4, even though M3.5 is illegal (though #3.5 is same as #4).

I believe, the same applies to P-word also, as long as the value is specified through a variable.
Several things are not logical. You have to experiment to find out how the control is going to behave.
