If its on the front, source another hub. Can get them cheap second hand.

If rear then I notice you have a furio, so change the drum.

Try not to drive around on only 3 wheels studs in, I done same mistake on my old vtr and the wheel come of doing 40mph, scariest moment ever!

as said, sounds like one of them has snapped....best to source a new hub or see if a mechanic can get it out for you

By the sounds of it his cross threaded the nut, it can be done with a tap and dye but I'd just change the hub/drum.

get it out if you can and see if its the threads on the bolt or the hub, probably new hub though as said :y:

i think it has been cross threaded , its not been snapped as i got it out and noticed it, might try and get someone to re-tapp it, as tyres+tax this week, mot is next week, then car insurance the next :( so need a cheap option!
