A similar thing happened to me, only my problem was that the
rubber-tipped bolt had sheared off. I eventually realised that the nut
is only held in by a flap of steel that can easily be bent back (i.e.
towards the bonnet) enough to let you take the old nut out and replace
it with a new one.
I discovered this after three hours of trying to get the sheared-off
bolt out.
