I torqued it down to 54lbs I believe. That is what was recommended when I did my Dog bone/hockey puck install.

hmm i dont see how you stripped it then unless you put it in at a angle or something.
Ive Messed up pretty bad before doing the dogbone bolt and i was using a breaker bar and had the socket tightening it instead of loosening it and herd a big snapppp and realized instantly what i did but luckily it was the cheap harbor freight socket that broke and the bolt came out perfectly fine after i switched to a new socket and had it going in the right direction lol
Yeah lucky! When I took the old bolt out there were metal shavings and it wasn't from the bolt, however I tried replacing the bolt and it will get taught, but not tight and no where near torqued.

Look for a Helicoil repair kit for it. We had the same problem on my son's MK4 R32. It can be done on the car, and is inexpensive.
Good luck

Bring the stripped bolt with you when you go to the autoparts store. The counterman will assist you in picking the correct kit.

Can't take the bolt out and take it to an autoparts store. It is supporting my transmission. [emoji23]

Shouldn't you have the PN already if you said a couple times, you tried replacing it already? :iono: Unless I'm misunderstanding which bolt you replaced.
