Broken battery ground stud

Mine broken when removing it today to attempt to clean some grounds due to random abs / tc lights so I'm looking to see what others are doing as a repair? I don't want to do anything ghetto ( like running in a few self tapping screws ) but I don't see an easy grounding point either. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

A properly cleaned surface and the fastner type of your choice, all good. You could riv-nut it if you feel better with that type fastner.
