Blown threading on number one rocker arm stud.

Hi all I am pretty new to camaros and I have a 1985 camaro z28.
I had a drunk a** hole get in my car while it was still on and buried his foot into my throttle and redlining at 7**** and blew the threading on my rock arm stud.
The pushrod isnt bent and the valve is open but not stuck.

Im new to cars this is my first car and I am setting up for collage for automotive
and need a little help on this one.

As long as the valve didn't drop into the cylinder and the valve is okay you could get away with just getting all the studs replaced with new screw in studs.
