Broken Positive battery cable bolt

I posted this under general, so I don't know if I should post it here too. While trying to clean and reseat all of my battery cables, I managed to snap this bolt. Is there any way I won't have to replace the ENTIRE cable?

You can carefully drill that bolt out and then use a standard bolt threaded through the hole to replace the one that is broken.

if you have to drill the hole slightly larger than the original stud, you can use the technique just have to hold the bolt with a nut.

Motor on!
