Joe-
I am not familiar with the aimpoint mount, but from the looks of things(thanks to your new found detailed online picture taking expertise) it may be very easy to remove that broken bolt and replace it.
It appears to be sticking out far enough out of the bottom of the mount to take a dremmel or something similar and put a single slit in the protruding bolt end that is stivking out of the bottom. Make it wide enough for a small screwdriver to fit and then just continue to screw the remaining piece of the bolt out of the bottom of the mount. I am sure you could get a replacement torq bolt and your new sight would be good as new.
Just a suggestion, hope it works. No shame there, that sounds exactly like something I would do/have done when trying "home plumbing 101" with compression fitting connections.
"if this tight is good, why not turn it one more.... SNAP!! " LOL
