You can just reuse it. It's not like you change these things every week. Well, I suppose that if you did, things wouldn't get seized, but that's another story. Or you can easily drill it out with a decent drill bit (cobalt works well) and put the ss nut on afterwards. Or you can use a Dremel multi-tool with a carbide blade to saw it off.
