Front lower shock bolt E250 Van

Broke the front shock bolt, thought I could just replace the bolt, dealer parts guy says I have to replace the control arm. Looks like bolt is pressed in like a wheel stud, anyone got a quick fix? Drill it out replace with same size bolt? Weld a wheel stud in its place?

How long have you lived in the Pacific Nothwest Ed? I use to live in Port Orchard, worked in the shipyard there in Bremerton back in the late 70's early 80's
