You'll probably be okay. Especially if it's the one for the top muffler (since leans on the top of the bracket, it has to work less against gravity). I have to put my stock exhaust back on every 2 years for emissions inspections and since those bolts are a pain to reach, I only install one for each muffler. But, in my case, they are only on for a day or so before I take them off again. I would just be sure to inspect it regularly to be sure the remaining bolt it hasn't worked loose...

Don't the bolts go thru the bracket and screw into the muffler? Take off the muffler and you may get it out fairly easy. Replace the bolts and use never-seize.
A swivel head ratcheting box wrench helps.
