Replacing a post-mount road hydro caliper - mtb?

I've rounded off the pad retention bolt on my front caliper (RS785), and have exhausted options to remove it - I think it's welded to the caliper. I'm looking to replace it, but it looks as though it's now impossible to find post mount shimano road calipers.

Some googling suggests that I ought to be able to use any 2 piston shimano mtb caliper, albeit with a different hose system. Is this still true? Are there likely to be any mtb calipers that don't use the banjo fitting which would be an easier replacement?

Thanks so much for your help!
