All threads with zombie status (all but 2) have already exited. There is just #16 stuck in LDAP and the main thread waiting for it to exit.
I don't think that this process could result in more than one non-idle thread in the status display.
If the process is using CPU and this is really stuck here for a while, then I guess the thread in LDAP is looping, and it doesn't make things worse to kill the process, but perhaps there is corruption in shared memory already and threads in other processes will be affected if they aren't already. Be ready to restart if threads keep getting stuck in the same place.
