There was a guy on YouTube that had the same bolt breakage, and he just tapped the handle for a different bolt size that wasnt a shoulder bolt. In my PP70, there is a bolt like the one that you show above that didnt fit, and there is a steel tube around it as a roller to apply the force to the seal. So, a couple of options if it ever happens again...
Pelpro just e-mailed me back.
They're sending a new door handle kit, under warranty, it supposedly has an improved latch design.
It'll be nice to have the back up parts.
But my fix is doing well, the bolt I installed seems fine, stove burned all day and night with no problems.

Not going to leave y'all hanging! 
Pelpro sent a replacement handle kit free of charge under warranty. Got it and installed it today.
The shoulder bolt is substantially thicker on the thread end.
👍

I had same issue after soon after getting one around Thanksgiving. If still under warranty,they will send you one.(prob a whole new handle assembly) that's what they did for me, and when I got it they went to a bigger thread size,pro. Due to this issue. But in mean time, got a new shoulder bolt from Fastenal, 1/4x1in(should bolts are measured by the sleeve length
