Maybe you carb needs a different cut out on the slide.
You can normally unscrew the damaged stud and replace it with another from
a hardware store that sells nuts and bolts. Use some locktite.
You can also just replace it with a longer bolt, that is if you can fit a bolt in the area.
I think you will find you have done some damage to the intake pipe and carb flanges.
It would take alot to strip threads and the normal torque is not anywere that high.

Subject: [Honda-C70] HELP - A disaster with Carb
I was having some acceleration issues. Was told I needed to install the gasket next to the insulator. Did that, and popping did not go away. Fiddled with needle length, adjusted both air and idle screws to the point it was totally messed up. Then I tightened the carb too tight and have stripped the bolt.
Ugh. Do I need a new carb? Why is there a pronounced "popping" when I try and accelerate? I have searched for air leaks to no avail.
Bike sits in garage, wanted to ride.....any advice is welcomed. It is a DRATV carb. I can get it to idle and top speed great, it is that middle section that is a mess, and now it is stripped and I can not tighten onto the manifold.
