Default Broke vavle cover bolt

I got a little too excited and tightened one of the valve cover studs and broke the nut off on the actual bolt.(one closet to the rad on the drivers side)

From my understanding these studs are connected to the head.
Is there any way to remove these and purchase another one?

yes you need to go to the dealer but there not to expensive. juse unbolt it from the head and replace it so it's not too bad.
