UPDATE:
got my part in handing started the fix. Was able to pop the old "BOSS" out with a pair of vice grips. Installed the new filter bolt with 2 nuts butted up against each other. COuldn't get a torque wrench on it, but tightened until it was very snug and used medium thread locker. New filter went right on. Cranked it up, let it run for 5 minutes. Let sit a while and checked oil level. Done and done. Thanks to everyone for weighing in. Now if someone pulls the same stunt, they'll have a reference point.
