Broken bolt on valve cover

I noticed a hot engine smell - found that one bold closest to oil-filler cap is broken. It's so loose I can take it out by hand. Hardly no thread visible.. Any suggstions on how to repair/remove the end that is still down there?

What risks do I take by doing nothing?

1995 Civic EX - 5 speed, 1.6 vtek - 201,000 miles - runs beautifully.
