If you are very carefull you can usually blow studs out of cast iron with a torch. Practice on some scrap cast if you haven't tried it before. Cast does not cut very good but the steel does. Heat the stud very hot and give it short bursts of oxygen. You can clean out even small gobs. I just blew 2 studs out of a 560 head that would not budge with ezee outs, heat, time and penetrating oil. The heat finally hardened the studs so hard a carbide drill wouldn't touch it and there wasn't anything else left to try. Michael Soldan had very good advice that you should try first.
