You will want to get that bolt drilled out, re-thread if needed and replaced with new bolts. Like sunlit said, keep the pan on so metal shavings do not enter the transmission.
What were you doing that you had to touch the pan bolts? Other than service on the transmission (filter/fluid change or internal work) I can't see a reason to be messing with them.
I don't recommend driving it until you fix it, but I've also had cars at work where trans-pan bolts were missing. No signs of fluid loss, so I just installed new bolts and called it good. Would I run it like that on my own truck, nope. Not a chance. But you could if you had too I suppose
Bolt size will be something around a 10-15mm. I don't know for sure, my guess is 13mm. I looked up torque spec's on global connect, 7-10lb ft's
