    Do you mean the 6mm stud that protrudes out'v the plastic?
    If so you could try filing the remaining stud till flat, drilling and tapping to 6mm and putting a bolt through.

    Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.
