Dorman wheel stud? Just want to replace one.

One lug nut got stuck and I sheared the bolt in half with a breaker bar.
Got my wheels swapped, and I will carefully drive on 4 lugs for the time being.

When I have more time, I might replace all 20 with ARP.
For now, I just want to replace the one busted bolt.
Has anyone verified the gold $2 Dorman bolts an acceptable substitute?

I just watched some videos as well.

To remove, I will try a ball joint separator or hammer it out.

When pulling on the new stud,
how do you know the splines are lined up?
Can you spin the bolt and feel it "click" into place?

Also, I've read a bunch on this topic, and it seems people dislike the OEM lug nuts?
Is there a popular lug nut replacement that is not bling, but just a functional upgrade.
