Can you take some clearer pictures of the damaged strut? Basically there's a bigger stud on top and a smaller bolt on the bottom. The top nut you could cut/grind off without damaging the topmount, as the rest is part of the damper. The actual casing usually is just a tube with a bearing to guide the damper.
