Some vehicles come with similar from factory,
I've used as shown in Post #6, a few times thru the years, worked okay, none came back.

Cut the broken bolt off flush
Drill and tap the shaft
Get a bolt with a long thread section.
The nut and washer only keep the shock in place, minimal forces get applied to them.

I have used the replacement stud you weld in but now I would just machine one up on the lathe. I got to the point where I just heat the nut with a torch and have never broke one since I started doing that. Use plenty of anti-seize when you put it back together.
