Gorilla tight is how many people seem to torque things when they don't have a torque wrench . Instead of say 18 ft/lbs , you'll end up needing a breaker bar to get a nut off , as they put it at like 103 ft/lbs

No harm, no foul. Seeing from the view above, there was no major exhaust leak. It would be black near the pipe where it meets the engine. Take the bolt out, figure out the tread, run a tap to match the thread back into the head and re-thread the bolt back in.
I suggest re-tapping the thread first to ensure the threads are clean rather than just shoving the bolt back into the hole to only have it bind partway back in and you force it and snap it off. When you put the bolt back in, use some Anti seize on the threads. Torque to proper levels.If its not broke, Hit it with a bigger hammer and blame it on cheap imports
