TB for 351w

I'm trying to remove my Throttle body to get to the TP sensor, I removed all bolts except for one which is stripped. I'm about to just break it off(TB) and go to the junkyard and get a new one. has anyone gone to a junk yard and gotten one? and for how much? or is there anyway to get the bolt off that is stripped? its a bolt with a screw driver type head which isn't from the factory. all other bolts are regular bolts errr
help needed fast! I want to get my check engine light off, and this is all I need to do b/c I got the code 63 which tells me to replace the throttle position sensor. oh this is for my 88'Bronco with the 351 efi

The junk yards around here don't have any Throttle bodys.
They tell me that they go with a used engine and when the core returns it is always missing along with the EGR


Can you grind the head off, remove the TB and then drill it out
