i replaced the supercharger belt and made the most idiotic mistake ever made...

I stripped the threads of one of the bolt that holds the belt tensioner plate.

3 bolts holds the plate down and the bolt with the stripped threads is the bolt that anchors the plate to the supercharger itself.

Question: would substituting the the bolt for a stud be a good idea?

After speaking with Vortech, they want the entire supercharger so they can do a "minor" repair- check/replace seals, bearings, etc. $500 at the most
