Joe Manganiello says he almost took a friend up on an offer to abduct and beat the you-know-what out of Sofía Vergara's ex, Nick Loeb ... but he ultimately thought better of it.

The actor shared his disgust for Sofía's former fiancé in his new memoir, "Bloodlines," saying his real hate for Nick kicked off when Nick sued Sofía for custody of their embryos and sent protesters to berate her at the "Magic Mike XXL" premiere.

Joe says the dude's consistent attacks on Sofía drove him a little crazy ... so when a friend in the private security world offered to "have this guy snatched off the street, blindfolded, hog-tied, thrown in the back of a van, and driven deep into the woods where he would first be warned, then beaten within an inch of his life, and left to fend for himself in the woods," he nearly took his pal up on the offer.
