i tried a bunch of hardware stores no luck would the dealer have this i also tried a local auto parts store they said i would need to buy a whole new component such as buying a whole ball joint then needing to replace the control arm too and the tie rod end is simpler but the same situation

Dealer would probably be your best option at this point. They usually have enough loose nuts and bolts in the shop to let you try one on for size.
