Just grind back to clean steel. Drill a hole where you cab get a nut on the other side and coat everything with copperslip.

Just find another bolt the same sort if size, clean the metal up and use that.
I'm in the process of upgrading all the earths on the rx8

If it's the one by the ecu there is a second one in the same area.
