I feel your pain. Stripped three bolts from the bearing press doing two front bearings on mine and wife's car.
I would be willing to bet it's either 3/4 or 5/8 bolt. If not too long you may be able to find a suitable copy bolt at farm & fleet or home Depot. Fine pitch hardened bolt.
I ordered my replacement from Amazon. Did the threads strip on the nut or the rod or both? I was able to finish one job with the stripped thread by using washers to get to a clean portion of the rod but the 3/4 rod was completely toast when I was done so I've since upgraded to a 1" bolt.
Make sure to use plenty of grease on the threads.
