valve cover stud problem

[jeepers94]

My buddy and I went to change the front brakes, plugs, and wires on his 92 gs and we ran into a problem. while swapping his wires he noticed one of the studs was broken off. He had the valve cover gasket changed awhile back so he thinks the shop over tightened it but they wont do anything for him. anyways the one that is broken is the one that the ground wire runs to. I am just wondering if its alright to take that wire and run it on the same bolt as the one that splices off of it. He also checked some of the other studs and thinks they are almost broken off but doesnt want to take them off and break it. So whats the best thing to do. can just the stud be fixed. thanks.
