Or just weld a nut straight to it, welding down the inside to the top of the stud. 
Or get the drills out. Dormer Easy outs, the way forward, but don't buy cheap ones! Snap cheap easy outs off and you have more trouble on your hands. |

That's genius and certainly worth a try. |

Upon removing studs that had been in my engine for 90 years, one after another snapped off, bearing in mind they had been caulking in too, to seal them from the 200 pound pressure. I wound the nut back on, and welded it on, and not one snapped.
The heat locally on the stud is the key, doing it with the oxy did nothing to help. |
