    Wheel bolt broke off- now what?

    One of the bolts on my front driver's side wheel broke off as I was trying to remove the nut. It wouldn't budge and I put some weight over on the lug wrench, eventually the lug came off but it took the full thread length of the bolt.
    It broke off clean and the stub is almost flush with the wheel, you can see a little bit of thread but not enough for a lug to grab.

    How much of a pain is it going to be to replace that bolt? And can I drive it with the remaining 5 lugs, or will that damage the wheel? I'm not planning on driving it a lot, but I might have to get it to a shop to get this fixed.

    Thanks
