Not sure what you're describing but I'll take a stab at it.
Are you saying the header bolt just keep screwing itself into the head instead of bottoming out. If so maybe you can just take the bolt out and put the nut on first. Unless it's really loose you'd probably need to put 2 nuts on it extract it.

If I understand you right the nut is turning the stud? If thats the case remove the stud and get the nut off of it and re install the stud in the head with red locktite and then install the flange nut. Thats if I understand you right.
