Default Tail light bolt/screw problem......

I recently took the taillights off of my car, but when I did I over tightened the nut. The screw part that is connected to the taillight broke off. (Circled in red) Is there anyway I can fix/replace it without buying a new taillight?

The picture is from NTPOG.org, I can get the actual pictures tomorrow if needed.

I tried looking here: http://www.hondaautomotivepart...LIGHT
but I could not find the screw, just the nut.

Thanks for any help.

sorry for going of topping but one of my lights in the back on my 5gen keeps on fogging up and having water bubles later on what can i do to avoid it, i took a fan and dryied it out once already but it came back in couple months, and for the bolt that u broke off does it really play a big difference in holding it? u got 3 other left to hold it

You could try sealing it with something.....not sure what to recommend thought. I broke 2 out of the 6 bolts, just not paying attention...lol
