If there is enough still sticking out you can get a stud remover and extract it. If not do what dereksi said and have it drilled and tapped.

for the time being id put it together and see if it leaks if you dont have the tools to fix it. It takes all of 5 mins to pull the valve cover back off

i would reccommend fixing it... riding around and "hoping" it doesnt leak is kind of ghetto
