Strut stud replacement?

Need some quick advice, had a buddy helping me out on the car and he over torqued a nut on one of the strut mounts. So now I only have 2 out of the 3 on there. My question is can the bolt be replaced? or do i just need to but a new upper strut mount?

I think you can take the old one out and put in a new stud just like wheel studs

I bet its cheaper to buy some used camber plates. I would take a look in the classifeds. Not sure how far your car is in the aftermarket world. But its an upgrade for sure.
