That's the common fix I've seen.I have a car fixed like that.Spin the longer screw down through,and reach up underneath and screw the nut on.The side pressure from the stripped out nut should hold the screw tight enough to turn the nut on finger tight.If not have somebody else hold it,or set a magnet on the screw heads.I generally don't take that piece off to remove the hood.I pop the hood stay rods off the radiator,and rock it ahead 3/4 of an inch.
