Most oil dipsticks just set into the engine block, so it should be easy to replace it. It may be held in place with a bolt and a bracket, but the shaft just has a gasket to hold it tight in the hole.

If the shaft is too damaged to use, eBay might be a good place to find one. RockAuto is also an excellent website for hard to find parts like this one.
