If you want to keep the same size bolt so they are all uniform, you have 2 choices that come to mind. One being as suggested, bust or cut off the nut welded to the frame and install a new nut (if it were me, I would follow this method and before going any further, I would tighten down the new bolt/ nut in place and weld the nut to the inside of the frame, that way it would be as it was before...ie: capture nut). Or method 2 would be the correct size helicoil set up, it will come with an over sized drill bit, a tap, and a heliciol insert. You simply drill out the hole you now have with the supplied bit, tap the hole with the supplied tap, and insert the helicoil into the newly tapped hole. Since the bolt you will be using protrudes out the back, I would use blue or red thread lock on the outside of the helicoil and once it is in place you have to break off the installation tab. Either method will fix you up.
