you might be able to unscrew it out of the header. Might
OR drill out and put a nut and bolt in there.
OR buy headers
OR buy someones old stockers if the bolts are intact. (I have my origionalsif you want them)

oosk, you need to be extra careful with these nuts, they are really weak and strip extremely easy.
as for how to remove the stud. Go to NAPA, they have a stud removal tool. it's a circular item with a hole the middle that grips as you rotate it with a ratchet. that'll remove it. napa sells studs as well that will match up. To reinstall you're going to need a stud installation tool that napa should have. DO NOT USE THE REMOVAL TOOL TO REINSTALL. The removal tool grips the threads on the stud as it removes it and chews the threads up, you don't want that on the new stud!

Happened to me back in the day and i used a torch to heat it up and then pound it out. Much easier, if you have a torch that is...
