Default I hate bar pins

This is the second time I've ran into a problem involving shock bar pins. They are such a poor design (which explains why no one uses them).

I had my Jeep up on a lift at work this morning and noticed that my Driver's side rear shock was only hanging on by the axle bolt. One of the bar pin retaining bolts was still in place and intact, but the other one's head had sheared off. I need some experience/input from you guys to tell me what I should do to fix the problem.
