I wouldn't dare Auto-X at all, AK...that could be a lot of lateral force put on the wheels, and you may strip out the threads on the other studs. Just take it in and get the stud fixed ASAP. It'll be ok on regular driving for a while Im sure.

Definitely wouldn't auto-x on it. Auto-x often puts more load on the wheels than the track does. Never seen a stud just break like that without reason, it's very odd.
Autozone or NAPA probably carries a few metric studs in a suitable length for an emergency fix. It's pretty easy to do the repair, especially on the front.
