Valve cover stud is stripped

One of the outer valve cover bolts just keeps turning so I took off the valve cover and one of the studs on the top right is stripped. Seem like a 10mm sockets fits but wanted to double check here to find out how to replace the stud the right way.

Yeah it should be a 10mm, and your local acura stealership parts department should stock replacements.

Yes, VERY.
Unscrew the old one, torque the new one down to spec and you are done
