Stripped rear derailleur cable bolt

All

Thanks very much for your responses - most helpful - didn't know this bike forum thing could be so helpful and useful - I hooked! Will take the head set off, confirm the size and then hopefully buy a $29 headset (plus the fortune in shipping to get it to the UK).

Given the success of that query, here's another braintreaser. Have an XTR rear derailleur on my Santa Cruz BLT and being an amateur I have apparently managed to strip the cable connector bolt. [The reason I am not 100% sure is that there is this strange little spring that looks like the bolt might thread into but can't seem to make it happen and there seems to be too much play when i insert the bolt for me to have stripped it that badly]. If I have stripped it, expect the answer is throw it away and buy a new one, but thought I would circulate this on the off chance that there is something else I can do.
