Thweek stealing Omega Leader's pilot ability would basically be like Omega Leader vs Omega Leader; nothing magical happens in an OL mirror match.

While Omega Leader has a foe locked, that foe cannot modify dice when attacking OL or defending against OL. If OL attacks their locked foe and spends the lock, that foe can now modify their dice because OL no longer has them locked when the Defender Modifies Defense Dice step comes along. For Thweek, this works the same way: if he spends his lock, the target can now modify their dice.

Though I'm guessing you're possibly worried Thweek's copied ability goes away after he spends the lock? Don't worry: Thweek has copied the ability permanently and keeps it throughout the game. He can gain and lose locks repeatedly but the ability text stays attached to him, as though Omega Leader's text were written on his card. It just has no effect while he has no lock.
