Blind Rivet Control Arm Bushing Carrier bolt

Blind Rivet Nut is broken and needs to be replaced for the Driver/Left Control Arm Bushing Carrier bolt. Is there a kit or a DYI method to fix it? A standard Rivet Nut will not work. Or will it if I bore out the OEM Blind Rivet Nut?

Regards, Luka1818

Fixed. Carrier bolt secured to 60 nm. After eyeballing the design of the damaged recessed nut, I opted to drill out the 10 mm fastner. Drilled out using an 11mm or 7/16 drill bit. Tapped in 12 MM 1.5 pitch using GEARWRENCH 12mm x 1.50 NF Plug Tap - 388731N from AMAZON. Acquired new 12 X 60 MM 1.5 pitch bolt and washer from an ACE Hardware Store. The Control ARM Bushing is secure.
