Idler pulley help

Hey everybody.I hope someone can help me out.I searched but couldn't find an answer.

Last night my grooved idler pulley siezed up.I went to the parts store and got a new pulley/bearing ***.(I know I could have bought just the bearing but I was far from all my tools and just wanted to get going as fast as poss.)Heres where my problem is.When the pulley siezed it melted the plastic bushing on the torx bolt that holds it on.Where can I get a new one?Is it just a dealer item or will a parts place have one?Anybody have a part # handy?Any other suggestions?I put it back together and drove it home about 55 miles but I don't think it will hold for much longer.
Any help would be great.

TIA,
John

It must have really gotten hot! Sounds like a stealership part but maybe someone else will chime in.
