Default God damit!! Stripped Thread in Rear Knuckle

In the process of polybushing the complete rear of my focus. I dropped the sub frame off so i can work on it easier. So far i have had a nightmare, 4 bushes completely knackered, the metal inserts ripped out the bush leaving you with a spinning bolt held in by the metal bush inner piece. On one of the bushes i actually managed to strip the thread from the nut that is welded to the rear knuckle. These look like £150 new each and the way things are going i will end up stripping the other. Whats the fix, can i just get a new nut welded on? What nut do i need
Thank

Never ever ever am i going to do this again, the front end was easy the rear a fooking nightmare
