Node js COM objects and Multithreading

I'm trying to create COM object in child thread(worker_threads) and getting the error:

node:internal/event_target:777 process.nextTick(() => { throw err; }); ^ Error: CreateInstance: Word.Application CoInitialize has not been called.

Can someone help to get rid of the error?

Here is my code example:

const winax = require('winax')

const bc = new BroadcastChannel('channel1')

if (isMainThread) {
  new Worker(__filename)

  bc.onmessage = (event) => {
    console.log(event.data)
    bc.close()
  }
} else {
  const word = new winax.Object('Word.Application')

  bc.postMessage('Success')
  bc.close()
}
