You can just get a new wheel stud, either off a scrapped one or new. motor factors wont have them main dealer will. its a simple job, you should be able to hit it back with a hammer and replace. you might have to take off the brake disk.

A rover or honda car in a scrap yard should have the part. You could also try a toyota car, i know the nuts will thread on each other anyway. They just have a different spanner size to open them.

if your going to a scrap yard take off the worn one and use it to compare the length and number of splines on the back of the stud. also if taking off a stud hand thread a nut onto it a bit first so you wont damage the thread while hitting it back.
