Go to a different (REAL) bike shop and ask the service guy for a bolt & nut
from an old battery in the recycle pile. This should be free. A 6 mm nut
bolt will do in a pinch. Don't go back to store 1.

Go to a _decent_ motorcycle shop (or any other place that accepts used
batteries for recycling) and get one off an old battery waiting to
be recycled.
Or you can just go to a hardware store and buy a nut, you may have to
file it down to get it to fit. The original 'nut' is a rectangular
piece, drilled and tapped, that fits into the battery terminal just so,
so that it won't spin when you screw the bolt into it.
Then go back to the dealership that said you should buy a new battery,
and tell them to get "stuffed".

Gawd, it's sad what goes on at motorcycle $tealer$hip$, but yuppy
customers let it happen. And you probably have a parchment from a
diploma mill that purveys sheepskin to bachelors of know-nothing in
information technology.

Gawddamnit! You *are* an IT professional! Don't call me "Surely!"
I feel as sorry for you as I feel for the dipshit in Atlanta that
bought a Honda with a hole in the crankcase. Which is to say, I don't
feel sorry for you at all, just disgusted at what motorcycling has
become, invaded by helpless yuppies as it has been.
Go to a frikkin' hardware store. Take the screw or bolt, whichever you
still have and look in the metric hardware department and find a hex
nut that fits into your 10 millimeter wrench. Screw the screw into it.
If it fits, buy the nut or for a nickel and take it home. Install it.
Some dark night, throw a brick through the window of the $tealer$hip
that tried to $crew you...
Tell 'em brother krusty kritter sent ya!
Or, maybe you could write an angry letter to American Honda and
complain about the lousy service you're getting from their franchi$ed
$tealer$hip.

I use stainless metric stuff from my local Ace hardware. I use metric
to make sure the bike is all metric so I don't have to worry about
mixing up parts and stripping threads. While you're there, buy
a small assortment of metric nuts and bolts and stash them in
your garage or better yet on the bike.

Yah, but most batteries I've seen use lead (or a lead-like alloy?)
for their connectors. SS is down a bit in the conductivity stakes when
the cranking current starts flowing. I'd go for brass as the best
compromise between availability and conductivity. Assuming you can't get
one off an old battery as others have suggested...

The cable end's in direct contact with the lead terminal with
brass washers on the backside of the cable end and terminal.
I'd considered a brass nut and bolt but was too lazy to go search
for them. Metric's still not as common as SAE here.
I'd set it up with a threaded shaft, a double nut on the inside
to lock the shaft in place and a wingnut on the outside holding
the cable in place. Makes it easy to do a quick battery disconnect
in order to work on something. Maybe I'll get ambitious enough
to go find the equivalent in brass.

Go to Wal-Mart and steal a set from a battery.

Start at Home Depot. Worst case, the battery connection is lead, so it
isn't hard to take a tap and cut new threads in it that correspond to
standard size nut/bolt.

Anywhere that sells nuts and bolts. This IS a little 10mm nut.

You may be kidding, but have you noticed how many WallyMart bike batteries
are missing the terminal nuts & bolts?...
