I would say get it fixed. Anything is possible with a welder, plasma cutter, and some metal.

Have it welded back on.

Put a nut on the end of the LCA bolt drive to the weld shop and have them fix it for you.

there many methods you can use to get the bolt out... take it to a shop if you can't do it yourself. No worries man.

well..... the plot thickens... I broke the nut of the lower ball joint along witha piece of the ball joint ... FAWK FAWK! If bad luck has a favorite friend, its me.

On a side note, the easiest way to deal with that pesky arm hair is to get out an angle grinder, start grinding [insert part name here], and watch the sparks fly.... ..down the sleeve of your coat..... mmmm... what a smell, .... oh yea, it hurts a bit too
