Icon2 TIPS/ADVICE needed for REMOVAL of STRIPPED valve cover nut.

I was going to do a valve adjustment and found that one of my nuts has the broken top end of the "stud" still in it after I took the spark plug cover off, and im not 100% sure that stud is correct word, but another nut continues to spin on top of another "stud" without coming off. The stud itself nstays still. Advice or Tips? Thank you very much, I know a lot more than some kids my age, but im only 17 and hope to get solid advice.

The first is of the nut that continues to spin.
The following is of the broken "stud."

Remove the valve cover and post more pictures of the broken bolts in the head.

Bolts remaining in the valve cover are removed by prying out the seals on the underside of the cover.

The top picture shows a nut that will spin, but will not come off. When using a wrench I observed that the stud was NOT moving when I spun the nut. So, without that bolt off I can't take the valve cover off. Any advice on how to remove it?

What is the name of the part indicated with the arrow? It's the bolt that the washer and nut go onto.

A bolt.
Why haven't you pulled off the valve cover?

I already took the valve cover off. I need new "bolts" so that I can completely tighten my valve cover now that I've adjusted my valves, just needed to know exactly what they're called.
