why don't you hold the spinning end with a wrench or vice grip or whatever? #12 looks like the whole arm, theres a nut on that?

The nut is on a slider and is in a track sealed in the chassis. It slides so you can adjust the toe in the rear. The nut is designed NOT to spin in the track, but obviously, he has a problem. This might be one for the pros.

Could you buy that "nut" from Honda and install it??

I had that happen a while ago (about 10 years). The only solution that I could come up with was to take a hole saw in the drill, find the approximate location for the head of the bolt, inside the car, and drill out the unibody to get to the nut from the other side. Its in that panel that goes from the bottom of the rear seat cushion down to the floor. Then you can seal it up with a metal patch held on with rivets, and sealed up with silicone.
