Message	I would expect that the threads in the block are damaged pretty badly too. I would not just install a new stud, or just chase the threads and install a new stud without doing a torque test. You'll most likely need a heli-coil, and by the looks of the thread length, you'll need a 2x length, not a 1x or 1.5x It's not something you'll want to half-ass.
