broken header bolt

the #2 bolt on the passenger side broke while going in. i know, i probably crossthreaded it. it looks like the remainder of the bolt is flush with the head. how long will i be able to drive before this becomes a problem, and how big of a problem is this.

with the stock metal gaskets, the exhaust will seal with 4 out of 5 bolts.
