Is that the picture from internet or the real one you are working on?
If latter, there seems to be enough left on the main part for the bolt head to hold on to. My guess that is why the epoxy was holding on. Keep it same, as long as bolt can hold on there and apply enough pressure to clamp the gasket it would be fine. If you think the leak was because of that bolt, that is a different matter.
If ain't broken don't fix it, if ain't broken that bad to fix it, still don't fix it
