Default strut stud broken...

after installin egay strut bar..didn't feel a difference so i took it off and reinstalled the bolt..but this time i used a shorter non deep socket and it got stuck and while i was turning, it eventually broke off...so now i have 1 screw on and flipped the other bolt upside down so its catching a little bit..is there a way and can get the stud replaced?

I think you'll do best to take the top hat to a machine shop and have them drill out the broken stud and press-in a suitable replacement.

You might not even need to drill it out, just disassemble the suspension and see if you can tap it out. Find out the length and thread count/pitch and then go hunting for a replacement. Mayeb a wheel stud might work 0.0 I dunnoe... just throwing ideas out

Take a metal tap and hit it with a hammer, it should pop right out, then get the proper bolt size/length and tighten it down.
