Use a bit that is big enough to remove the bolt but leave the thread. The remaining thread can be scraped out with a sharp tool, sharpened nail etc. For a replacement you could also go to a thread specialist if you could't get it from the good old hardware. Of course if the bolt is too long you can cut it down, file off the burr and Bob's your aunties live-in lover.
Alteratively remove the entire thing and rivet it on with of silver, stteel or copper. Then you may wish to balance it up by doing the opposing one so it looks symmetrical. I'd Probably do the lot so it'll last forever then.

good idea, and bob's a lucky guy.
