Wheel studs not available separate. Need to find someone who has changed a wheel bearing, and ask them nicely for it
If it is the front hub, they swap over no bother, hammer out, and draw the new one in with the wheel nut.
If it is the rear, you have to split and replace the bearing, as you cannot get the stud past the hub carrierMy D3 Build Thread

I looked into this a few years ago and found a place that supplied them . not Genuine Lr ones but the same size and fitting etc. in the end I changed the bearing and kept the old one as spare, but it all got sold off a while back. I'll see if I can find the company detailsDuncan

Changing rear wheel studs
I have just changed one on my D3 and didn’t fancy having to take the hub off and press out the bearings etc. but found an easier way. The studs on the rear wont press out of the hub as they hit the bearing housing but if you hammer them in a couple of mm you get get a blade in and cut off the head of the old stud then knock it through. I then cut the corned off the head of the new stud (same as Disco 2 or P38 #FTC2057) and chamfered the very end of the thread, it can then be inserted from the back of the flange. I don’t suppose a dealer would do it this way but there is so little material removed I cannot see it failing. Obviously you do have to take off one of the parking brake shoes to get access but beats taking the hub apart, hope this helps someone. Photos attached.
