How to repair cement panel staircase?

Hello,

 

Appreciate advise on how to repair two steps. 

 

Two of the very heavy steps are just sitting there, unable to thread a nut on, the other is barely showing any thread. Moving a piano on a machine popped out the nut probably because of little thread and some rust.

 

* Could weld it in, but that’s only as good as the weld onto the bolt.

 

* drilling through the cement and the mental support for a new bolt - will I expect could break up the cement and hit any metal rods in the cement.

 

* only one I can think of 

 

remove the step 

 

bolt a metal panel 200 x 900 to the two metal existing supports 

 

bond the cement step to the metal panel with some type of adhesive that might exist that will be a permanent fix, my concern is if this would work 

 

problem I see is then we are raising the step a bit  compared to the others.

 

Thankyou for your advise
