I would remove the shock and try to work the bolt by screwing by hand at first and then socket wrench and also use a little lube or oil while working with your bolt. This is a cheap way of re-tapping the threads and see what you have to work with. These bolts are heavy duty and with a little luck, you might be fine. In the worst case, you can buy an used control arm off craigslist or ebay cheap. The bad part about it is that you'll have to do extra work and realign after you're done.
Take your time and you'll be fine.
