this may be an easier fix than you think so take a deep breath. it's been a few years since i've had the strut off but if i remember right that stud was pressed through a hole on the top of the strut, so go ahead and take the hole thing off again. press that broken stud back through and put a new one in. if it is welded to the top of the strut, grind it off then drill out the same hole and put a new bolt in.(weld it in place if can't reach the head to bolt it down.) this shouldn't be that hard if you have access to some tools.

I would Just get a new mount. It is probably bad anyway. I always reccomend replacing the mounts with the struts anyway. The Rubber in the middle wears out.
