Valve Adjustment Problem : Broke Thread

Valve Adjustment Problem : Broke Thread
Anyways. From the topic title, I failed to do a proper valve job and overtorqued a thread (never going to trust that wrench again). Lesson learned.
Is there anything I can do about it? If not, what's a good shop around Conyers, GA that won't charge me an arm and a leg. I expect I have to pay about $500 for my mistake.
If anyone can help, that would be great. All advice well appreciated.

Yeah. It sucks. But I guess you don't really learn things until you experience it firsthand.
To clarify, the thread I'm talking about is the thread used to adjust the valve.

You should always use a valve adjustment tool as well, not a wrench...
