Default Stripped hub stud!

I put my new wheels on using a cheap torque wrench and stripped a stud. Now what? Anyone know what tap and die i need to attempt the repair?

The best way would be hammer it out with a pointed chisel and remove the lug totally off the disc. Also have some support wood given at the back of the disc while hammering.And ensure prior to the job have a replacement lug kept on standby.
Important Note, Ensure to remove the Brake Calipers off completely and have the necessary tools to start up.

Is the rotor and caliper all that needs to be removed? I thought the hub/axle too.

You only need to remove the rotor and nothing else. You will have to turn it to get to the Stud but you will see how easy it is when you start. It is a floating rotor so once you take out the wheels, it comes off easily.
