Two screws on tailight; 1 broke off

I was replacing the gasket on the tailights because mine became a fish bowl. However I guess I tightened it too tight and it broke off. Is it possible to replace this or any ideas for this situation. Thanks, any help is appreciated

Buy a new light, or a used one from Junk yard.

Thats the only way.

JB Weld not going to hold it ... once its broken its broken, and nothing can fix it.
