The ground was rusted good and now all I have left is a painted nub...

Drill the hole and clean a small area around it off to bare metal on both sides. Use the conducting grease and put a star washer on both sides and double nut the bolt then add the cable and another star washer with another nut. I would use ss fasteners but be careful and use never sieze on them or they might gall. If this was on a non finished paint job you could braze or silver solder or weld the head of the bolt on the backside. It was brazed to avoid the excess heat originally. Brazing is actually a glueing process sorta as the metals actually aren't fused together like in welding.
