This happens all the time.

This is an easy fix for a LBS that does these repairs all the time.

Change the one spoke. True the wheel. If the wheel was already true before, then it's almost always just that one spoke that only needs to be nipple wrenched.

Spokes come in all lengths and diameters and it can be errornous for the DIY unless they know exactly the spokes they need.

Not sure why the OP is making such a big fuss by guessing, disrupted the nearby good spokes, buying tension tools, wasting so much time not cycling.
