Stripped thread on wheel lug - L series

Hey guys,
So I've stripped the thread on one wheel lug on one hub.
It happened when tightening so it's on there and the wheel's secure but I don't wanna take it off without first having a fix solution.
This is on my L series sedan by the way, front left wheel.
Some of the others are kinda starting to cross thread a bit too so is it worth replacing the whole hub or can you replace those lugs individually?
Thanks,
Tommo.

As already said its an easy fix, you can use ones from a wreckers or buy new ones from an auto part store
