Stripped Bolt while installing mid pipe

I noticed a small rattle after installing my AA EL mid pipe so I took off the 11mm nuts that secure the mid pipe to the tunnel. One of the studs on the right hand side is now stripped and I cant tighten it back up.

What's the best way to fix this ?

I'm pretty sure you can purchase that stud. It is just pressed in from the back.

Isn't the left hand side replaceable and the right hand side welded in ?
