If it's the front hub that the stud is free spinning on, you might just be able to jack up the car high enough and squeeze behind the wheel (if the wheel is still on) and remove the brake caliper/whole hub assembly and maybe see if the stud is completely off or just needed to be hammered back in.

It's the rear wheel. Most likely that the spline got smoothen out due to over torque...
