I over tourqued a 10mm bolt and the part that the bolt goes into is stripped. Is there anything I can do to fix this? (The 10mm bolt is NOT stripped)

Is there any thread left where the you stripped it? How much torque was supposed to be supplied to this bolt?

There is alittle thread in the begining. I dont know how much ft lbs it was supposed to be torqued at. I just tightened it alittle too much lol

I found out how to fix it. Theres a brand called Permatex that makes a stripped thread repair kit. Thanks!!!

You could try getting something called a "helicoil" repair (most engineering shops over here in the UK could do this - but you will need clear access to the hole if it is in an awkward position it could mean removing the affected part for repair).
