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.
