Did the flat metal base that the rubber is attached to break off? If
not, get on it with a big pair of vise-grips and use a propane torch to
heat the mounting.
If it did break off and you are left with the stud in the hole, get an
angle grinder and Dremel and remove some of the mounting surface until
you can get your vise-grip on the stud. Heat things up with a torch.
After the stud is out, surface the mount and use big washers to get the
bump stop back up to the right height. What can you loose by trying?
