Well I could. I would just want it done professionally using grade 8 studs. The studs used previously where more along the lines of grade 2-3. We could drill in them to use the easy out and we couldn't do it to the grade 8 bolts even after getting special bits for it. I don't know if I would wanna do studs. There isn't alot of room for error you know? The mount is very small too and the stud would have to be short. Where would I get one anyways?
Studs arn't difficult to find, nor expensive. Brafasco, Spae Naur, Fastenal, over the shelf easy to find. Cut them to whatever length needed. Or do bolts if studs worry you.

No doubt getting the last of the broken stud out is going to be a chore, it's never fun. But it's got to come out regadless of the solution you choose. I've had to drill out a thousand exhaust manifold studs that were tempered like glass. It nearly always sucks.

Good luck
