HELP!!! Broken stud on exhaust manifold

Changing X pipe out and broke passenger stud on manifold. I still have some threads left, just not enough to catch. Maybe a sleeved nut would work to catch the threads and I would have enough room to bolt it back up. Anyone know the nut size? Any suggestions for what to do on a Sunday? Also, I found the part # W709209-S900 but, where the hell do I get it? Other than dealer.... I see there is a BOLT above the threads, how does the stud come out of the manifold?

When I put on my LTs I took out some of the studs with vice grips.

I was about to suggest drilling. I have a few of those exhaust studs laying around from last year when I pulled the motor.. never know when I might need them. Glad you got it fixed!
