Oh no, I stripped the bolt on my new seatpost!

HELP!!

I got a nice fi'zi:k Cyrano aluminum seatpost for Christmas.

Tonight, when I was putting it on my bike, I put my torque wrench on the 4mm bolt to tighten it to 8nm and somehow managed to strip the bolt. (It's a click style torque wrench.)

I managed to get the bolt out, but am worried about getting a new one. There's a shoulder about 10mm long that's not threaded and is slightly larger than the threads.

Any suggestions?

Oh, it's going on my Jamis Coda Sport.
