I had the same problem. Dug/cut the old nut out and found a nut to fit the bolt with a washer made to the nut. I'm not sure what it's called but the nut has a round washer on one side, it looks like a nut and washer in one. I put it nut side down in the hole where the stripped nut came out of and welded around the washer part. Fits flush and hasn't caused a problem in several years of use.
