Cut it. Studs can be replaced at a local tire shop for i think about $20ish. Driving a short distance on 4 lugs won't hurt things.

I would like to take this moment to offically announce my campaign to make people aware of what a stripped bolt or nut is.


You are probably talking about a rounded or FUBAR'd hex. Stripped relateds to the threads.
