I don't see an easy fix here. I suppose you could remove the converter and cut the stud out and reweld a new one. But for the cost of a new converter and the hassle to do the repair and the chance it could leak or keeping the stud straight just buy a new one, step up for a mild stall, you'll be a lot happier.------------------

In the Philippines this would be no problem, 'cos we don't want to pay for imports + BIG duty. Try a machine shop and ask them to cut a new thread on the studs. You'll probably end up going metric but that's no biggy to keep your converter in service.
