Thats part of the actuator.

1. I think you are not going to find that part by itself
2. A junkyard may sell the whole headlight assembly
3. Remove the stud from nut, weld, tap, and reinstall.

I just installed new gears and bushings in mine. That part doesn't need a lot of torque, you went psycho on it.

There are few on ebay, be ready to pay or fix that bolt.
