Question help, stripped a header bolt

I installed my DC headers the other day. Everything went almost flawlessly, except I over torqued one of the top left bolts and stripped the stud, which has, in turn lead to a small leak above the number 2 runner of the header. What can I do to fix this? Ive seen a set of stronger exhaust manifold studs for sale at Dezod's website, but how do you go about installing them? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

unscrew the stock studd from the black and thread it a new one. It should look like a star that the end, they make socket that fits that star end so you can take it out
