Can this head be saved? A intake manifold bolt was torqued a little much.

Looks more like the wrong bolt was used.

Break away the loose part if it's loose.

Put Hondabond on the treads of the correct bolt when installing and call it a day.

Will it hold ok? I may want to run a super charger later down the line.

Probably be just fine. Just broke out the back side of the bolt hole. Hondabond just to keep the bolt threads from weeping oil.

Make sure that's not touching the valve spring.
