Thank you all for your advice!
I finally found some time to work on the stem. I went to my local welders shop and they said that they could repair it, but it was a bit pricy for me. So I took my files and sandpapers and started to mess around. Luckaly all went better than I expected. Now it looks like new. Only if you look really carefully at the bolt you can see that edge next to the bolt is uneaven. Its also a bit flat in that area but it's unnoticeable unless you touch it. I just need to remove some small scratches I missed and buff it up again.
